[solved] EeePC 701, toofishes kernel and webcam

Hi,

I have a EeePC 701 and am running Arch on it for a while. I started with the dkite modules and later switched to the toofishes Kernel. Sometime (don't know exactly when) my webcam support got lost and I have no idea what I am missing.

Trying to enable the camera returns an error:

echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera
-bash: /proc/acpi/asus/camera: No such file or directory

In fact I do not have a /proc/acpi/asus directory at all. However other ACPI functions like adjusting the brightness via Fn-F3 works just fine.

I checked that the camera is enabled in the Bios and OS Installation is set to finished.

This is what I currently have installed:

kernel-eee 2.6.27.1-1
madwifi-eee-svn 3866-1
acpi-eee 3-1

Above packages where built from toofishes' git repository two days ago.

Here are a few more installed packages that might be related:

acpid 1.0.6-1
luvcview 20070512-4

The only module I could find in /lib/modules/2.6.27.1eee/ that looks somewhat related is asus-laptop but that doesn't work:

modprobe asus-laptop
FATAL: Error inserting asus_laptop (/lib/modules/2.6.27.1eee/kernel/drivers/misc/asus-laptop.ko): No such device

Here are the modules I currently have loaded:

Module                  Size  Used by
vfat                    8448  1 
fat                    37724  1 vfat
pl2303                 14788  0 
usbserial              24428  1 pl2303
ath_pci               147064  0 
wlan                  178932  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               257536  1 ath_pci

I'm grateful for any tip I can get.

Andi

Okay it works big_smile. It seems like the proc entry is gone completely because it isn't necessary anymore. Just start luvcview -f yuv to check the camera.
