Salix Forums

I made webcam detected in Ubuntu-

$ sudo r5u87x-loader --reload
r5u87x firmware loader v0.2

Searching for device...
Found camera: 05ca:1870
Camera reports positive microcode state.
Camera reports microcode version 0x0112.
Not doing anything - camera already setup.

Successfully uploaded firmware to device 05ca:1870!
Reloading uvcvideo module...
Finished.

But still guvcview could not find the camera
and yet to check with Salix 13.1.2. Report back soon ,-) There is a bug report at https://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/issue/26/ in this connection.

What I did in Ubuntu was, I commented out the { 0x05CA, 0x1870, 0x0112, 0, 0 }, // Used for HP Pavilion dv1xxxx (1870.fw) in loader.h and recompiled. and it worked well.

I made the changes in loader.h and make clean and make and make install and finally, the webcam got detected, but when I try to launch luvcview, it states that:

# luvcview
luvcview 0.2.6

SDL information:
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
Device information:
Device path: /dev/video0
ERROR opening V4L interface: No such file or directory

I could not figure out exactly the problem.
