[cpia] Anybody have a clue?

[Jack Diederich]

give gqcam a try, it should compile w/o having to do all the xawtv config stuff.  Search on freshmeat or click here

It is a straight forward proggie (no mmap or anything fancy) so if that doesn't work, make sure debugging messages are on in the cpia driver, and post the output to this list.

Hi everyone --

I've been screwing around with the cpia drivers for at least 2 months
now trying to get the stuff to work.  I can't get it to work for the
life of me!!

Currentl, I've got a fresh 2.2.16 kernel with the latest usb-backport
drivers  (OHCI - SIS chipset), and the cpia 1.0 drivers.  I have an
ezonics ezcam usb.  Everything compiles and loads OK and the camera is
detected.

Thats the point that I keep getting stumped!  Whats a good simple
program to test the camera?  I've tried a bunch of different ones...
I currently have the latest xawtv installed, but it's crap and doesn't
work.

incidently, in my dmesg, I keep getting 'cpia data error' messages
whenever I try a framegrab with xawtv....

I have a /dev/video0 device and a symlink from /dev/video to
dev/video0... what else am I missing?  I'm starting to think that I'm
missing something really really really simple and basic.. one of those
things nobody documents because it's expected knowledge.

ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE?  I really want this thing to work.. I know it can
work because I hear about people using the damn cpia-usb cameras every
day.  What the hell am I missing?
