I use it quite a lot and there is some bug with opening/closing the camera whch I've seen crash the machine, but once it's running, I've had it work for weeks. I haven't had the time to track down the opening/closing bug. Undr 2.4 it was stable at one point atleast. I haven't tried it recently, so I don't know if it still is, but I don't know of any reasons it shouldn't be. What exact kernels are you using? Which UHCI driver are you using?

Giving more information would be a start. Is this a USB or parallel port camera? What kernel are you using? What version of the driver? What is the output of dmesg just after loading the modules?

If your port is detected as TRISTATE by the Linux kernel, then it can be used with kernel 2.4. ECP transfers are done in software if the hardware can't do it directly with the new kernel. Scott J.

Overlay is a feature some PCI V4L devices have, but doesn't make much sense for USB devices. It's a bug in the application if it requires overlay support, or it just doesn't want to support anything that doesn't offer overlay.

I was looking at "How to get USB devices working under Linux" and for the Basic Configuration it states I need to load the following modules: insmod usbcore.o uhci.o (or usb-uhci.o or usb-ohci.o) As well as the cpia drivers When I try to load the usbcore.o file (insmod usbcore.o) it tells me that it cannot find the kernel that it was installed for. I looked in the /lib/modules/2.4.0/ and usbcore.o is not there. The others needed are. I assume I didn't install this file when I built kernel 2.4.0. My question is: where is it? Where in the make menuconfig should I look for this? When I try to install the uhci.o driver which is in /lib/modules/2.4.0/ it states it has "unresolved symbols" and if I do an lsmod, no modules are loaded. Any suggestion would be appreciated...

Thanks for any advice any of you gave me. I am looking for software that will take snapshots in timed intervals and ftp them to a server (so that I can display them on the internet). I have found one software called camstream that will do this but after a certain period of time it stops. I turned off the power management on my computer in the CMOS but it still turns off after about an hour or so. Any suggestions or other software to try out?

I'm partial to the gqcam implementation [thats a plug, I did the threading]. With all the cpia USB settings at max, you should be able to get 30fps if nothing is moving (which is alot like a cpu intensive 1fps, since nothing is moving) and 12-15 fps with alot of motion. -jack ps, make sure to get a more recent version of gqcam, the one that ships with the cpia driver is ancient. ------Original Message------ From: "Gleicon S.
