Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Sorry for being offtopic. In the meanwhile -- while |
| 4 |
trying to get my webcam working I got that many |
| 5 |
contradictionary and partly outdated informations |
| 6 |
from the web that I did not know anymore what I |
| 7 |
know or not... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I searched a lot of stuff and found a lot of stuff but |
| 10 |
the sources are often of 2007 and or old kernels. Links |
| 11 |
of that sites goes into nothing and the software does |
| 12 |
not run anymore or is not able to be compiled successfully. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
That is the reason why posting here. |
| 15 |

Current status: |
| 17 |
WebCam: Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks, 2009er model |
| 18 |
which is not affected by the firmware bug of previous versions |
| 19 |
of the same cam. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Kernel: 2.6.30.3, vanilla sources from ftp.kernel.org |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Video interface: Newest Xorg-Server (Gentoo) with newest |
| 24 |
NVidia-driver (Gentoo), and (accoriding to lspci) this |
| 25 |
graphics card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As driver I used the one deleivered with the kernel. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The Cam is recognized and activated ... sometimes. |
| 30 |
With cheese I can watch the video image and stream ... sometimes. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
But I cannot get above 10...15fps with reasonable resolutions |
| 33 |
like 640x480 or 800x600. Even 320x240 gives me only 10...15fps. |
| 34 |
And the stream get really jurky when recorded. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Before I buy again a camera, which is _/said/_ to work with linux |
| 37 |
with 25 fps at at least 640x480 and fails to do so: |
| 38 |
I need a WebCam with good image quality to watch/record birds. |
| 39 |
Since theese are fast animals :) framerates of 10...15fps are |
| 40 |
no option. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Is there anyone out there, who owns a WebCam, which definetly |
| 43 |
_works_ with a resolution of at least 640x480 and 25fps or above |
| 44 |
and which has a good image quality under a recent linux? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP ! |

Have a nice weekend! |

Kind regards, |
