Hello,

I've been using successfully a creative labs webcam II on parallel port
on
a bi-Celeron machine, with kernel 2.2.x, getting 20 fps without any
problem.
I've upgraded my machine to kernel 2.4.0-test6, which includes the CPIA
module in standard (cool !). I've compiled the parport support with
FIFO/DMA,
and 1284 transfer mode too.
When I modprobe the cpia module, the parport, parport_pc, videodev and
cpia_pp
are well loaded:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
V4L-Driver for Vision CPiA based cameras v0.7.4
Parallel port driver for Vision CPiA based cameras v0.7.4
0x378: FIFO is 16 bytes
0x378: writeIntrThreshold is 16
0x378: readIntrThreshold is 16
0x378: PWord is 8 bits
0x378: Interrupts are ISA-Pulses
0x378: ECP port cfgA=0x10 cfgB=0x48

parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(10)

last message repeated 7 times
CPiA Version: 1.20 (2.0)
CPiA PnP-ID: 0553:0002:0100
VP-Version: 1.0 0100


But, when I try to use it with xawtv (for example), the fps is sooooooo
slow !
(less than 5 fps). I noticed that the logs are filled with the following
error/warning:
parport0: ECP direction: reverse
Aug 16 11:25:13 machine last message repeated 1251 times
Aug 16 11:26:14 machine last message repeated 1567 times
Aug 16 11:27:05 machine last message repeated 1173 times

As you can see, something is wrong :-) Can anyone tell me what to do ?
Is this a bug in the kernel or in cpia ?

Thanks,
Luc
