Looks like i'm using wrong driver.
I found that linux-uvc supports my webcam.
installed linux-ucv-svn
now xawtv starts, webcam blinks, and shows black webcam screen, and gives this message:
[vagif@laptop ~]$ xawtv -nodga

Hmm, looks like i need to edit source code of uvc driver and recompile it as described on this page:
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=74501
do following commands as any user
cd ~/
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
I got version 141 on 20071109.
cd trunk
xemacs uvc_driver.c
add at the end of 'static struct usb_device_id uvc_ids[] = {'
/* OmniVision OEM Dell Notebook */
{ .match_flags = USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_DEVICE
| USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_INFO,
.idVendor = 0x05a9,
.idProduct = 0x2640,
.bInterfaceClass = USB_CLASS_VIDEO,
.bInterfaceSubClass = 1,
.bInterfaceProtocol = 0,
.driver_info = UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_MINMAX
},
just before
/* Generic USB Video Class */
{ USB_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_CLASS_VIDEO, 1, 0) },
{}
make
you get uvcvideo.ko
gzip uvcvideo.ko
you get uvcvideo.ko.gzdo following commands as root:
cd /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/kernel/3rdparty/uvc/
mv uvcvideo.ko.gz uvcvideo.ko.gz.org
cp /home/-user-/trunk/uvcvideo.ko.gz .
depmod
rmmod uvcvideo
modprobe uvcvideo
These instructions are Mandriva specific.
How do I do same thing in Arch ?
What are the steps ?
