Since I updated to FC10 Rawhide the webcam in my laptop doesn't work. In FC9 it worked thanks to the gspca modules in Livna repository, so I have been expecting them to appear in RPMFusion. I have read that this functionality has been inserted in the kernel, but of course I have the last kernel updated and I can't make it work. Please, any info?
I have followed the instructions of this link, using the package in the repository (0.5.3-1) and it doesn't work. I have run 'Cheese' from a terminal, and I get that error on and on:
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Error de entrada/salida
I don't know if it's useful, but I have run 'dmesg' (after Cheese) and it show a lot of lines at the end like that:
gspca: frame overflow 615378 > 614400
Cheese uses gstreamer for the video input which already supports libv4l so if its supported it should just work. It would probably be worth while opening a bug against libv4l with all the details of the make/model of your webcam, adding details of the dmesg output of your camera and attaching a lsusb output as well. I know he has around 20 odd variants of cameras but there's all sorts of differences.
Thank you all! It seems that it is a well known bug:
