[SOLVED] Asus K53SV and the webcam 13d3:5710 IMC Networks

Hi everyone, I've been unable to configure/use the integrated webcam on my ASUS laptop.

I did a fresh install yesterday, but it seems my webcam can't be recognized. Been googling all day, but nothing useful came up. I also tried the wiki, but that didn't help either.

The output of lsusb isn't helping much either, I can't seem to identify if the webcam is detected:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13d3:5710 IMC Networks 
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:0139 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c051 Logitech, Inc. G3 (MX518) Optical Mouse

dmesg is more interesting:

[    6.518525] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[    6.522704] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 UVC VGA WebCam (13d3:5710)

uname -a

Linux bbt 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 19 10:27:51 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I tried the stk11xx driver from the AUR, but got the following complaint (package is flagged out of date too ofcourse):

error: target not found: kernel26>=2.6.29

It's pretty obvious this won't work to, since I have a 3.0 kernel...

Anyone had experience with the right driver for this webcam? uvcvideo is obviously not working, I tested with skype and gucview.

Anyone who might have the same problem, in linux-uvc-devel someone posted a message that they found an unsupported webcam, being this type ofcourse. See the link to the post to the mailinglist.

Linux bbt 3.1.0-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 31 20:19:44 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Kernel 3.1.0-3 fixed it! I also got rid of the problem where udev tries to mount the audio output as an input device, boot is superfast now.
