Subject: [gentoo-user] media-video/gspcav1 or kernel module?

1 Hi all,
2
3 I recently upgraded from 2.6.26 to 2.6.28. My el-cheapo webcam (lsusb:
4 0c45:602c Microdia Clas Ohlson TWC-30XOP WebCam) used the
5 media-video/gspcav1 driver, but that no longer compiles:
6
7 /var/tmp/portage/media-video/gspcav1-20071224/work/gspcav1-20071224/gspca_core.c:54:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory
8 /var/tmp/portage/media-video/gspcav1-20071224/work/gspcav1-20071224/gspca_core.c: In function 'spca5xx_ioctl':
9 /var/tmp/portage/media-video/gspcav1-20071224/work/gspcav1-20071224/gspca_core.c:2463: error: implicit declaration of function 'video_usercopy'
10
11 etc.
12
13 I discovered a number of gspca modules in the kernel:
14
15 gspca_spca508
16 gspca_spca506
17 gspca_spca505
18 gspca_spca500
19 gspca_spca501
20 gspca_spca561
21
22 but I can't find out which one suits my webcam. usb id is above, and
23 it's a freebie from a pc store, so it's branded with their logo and
24 comes with no technical notes.
25
26 I've tried loading each gspca_spca5xx module one by one, but none of
27 them creates a video device (that I can tell).
28
29 Any hints for what module to use?
30
31 thanks!
