Trust WB-3100P webcam cannot get it to work

[FSLLL]

I have been trying to get my webcam to work. The built in microphone works fine but no video. I have trawled various forums and Google and tried just about everything suggested.

I am running 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64


I have listed below various outputs. Does the fact that dmesg shows the camera controller detected as SN9C103 and later shows usbcore registering the interface driver as sn9c102 have any bearing?

One forum suggested downloading the 32 bit driver as skype was 32 bit but that didn't work either.

Anyone got any further suggestions or do I just accept that this particular camera is not going to work. The v4l2 tool doesn't find a driver but http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html lists it as not tested (see below).

Selected output from dmesg

sn9c102: V4L2 driver for SN9C1xx PC Camera Controllers v1:1.47pre49

Information from http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html shows my camera as not tested but another with the same subdriver and sensor as OK
Subdriver Id Name Sensor Status

The Id and sensor match with the output from dmesg

One suggestion was to preload the libraries
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so camorama
[root@FSLServer ~]# camorama
all the above resulted in this error message

Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).
Please check connection
Trying the 32 bit versions
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so camorama

resulted in the same error message

Trying with Chesee
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so cheese

** (cheese:3835): WARNING **: Failed to open /dev/video0: No space left on device

[root@FSLServer ~]# cheese

** (cheese:5263): WARNING **: Failed to open /dev/video0: No space left on device

Tried the 32 bit versions as suggested on a forum

[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

The same error was reported using the 64 bit versions.

Thanks

Tried UCView got this
[root@FSLServer ~]# ucview

** (ucview:2567): WARNING **: failed
And no device was shown.

I had already tried that thread. Guess I'll just have to get a webcam which is known to be working under Fedora

Try this firstsu -

yum update --enablerepo=u*g
reboot

Thanks Nokia we are making progress. Camera is now recognised by cheese and skype. Quality is a bit ropey, dark and not much colour. At least it is working and so I can work on what needs adjusting to improve the quality.

Thanks again
