https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437972 Summary: UVC Webcam does not work, uvcvideo driver missing Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: probono@myrealbox.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Webcam does not work out-of-the-box. Essentially, the uvcvideo driver appears to be missing. Since this is a generic driver for all sorts of UVC cameras, it would be very beneficial to have it in the distribution by default. The USB Device Class Definition for Video Devices, or USB Video Class, defines video streaming functionality on the Universal Serial Bus. Much like nearly all mass storage devices (USB flash disks, external IDE disk enclosures, ...) can be managed by a single driver because they conform to the USB Mass Storage specification, UVC compliant peripherals only need a generic driver. The UVC specification covers webcams, digital camcorders, analog video converters, analog and digital television tuners, and still-image cameras that support video streaming for both video input and output. Please see http://de.opensuse.org/index.php?title=OpenSuSE_11.0_Installation_auf_Medion_E1210_Akoya&redirect=no#WebCam for information on how to get it to work. (This is on a Medion Akoya mini E1210 (OEM version of the popular MSI Wind netbook) using the openSUSE-11.1-Beta3-GNOME-LiveCD-i386.iso Live CD, but it might probably apply for other UVC webcams as well.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
