You'll certainly need one sample of the device to test the newer mmap modes that are very different from what we had on V4L1 API. Probably, it shouldn't be hard to transform this driver into a gspca sub-driver, instead of trying to change it into V4L2. > Curious is that i type mail to author of driver to ask him for check > if driver will work after modifications > and he response that he stops development because he broke his camera > with NW chipset during development :) > This happens ;) > So it make sense to ask someone for help or should I stop it in this phase? If you find some device to test, then it could be interesting. I suspect that we don't have any in-kernel driver for this chipset. If you're interested on working with webcams, maybe you could help porting the existing in-kernel V4L1 webcam drivers into V4L2 ones. >>> Greg could you please create a project for this driver? >> >> I'll need more information first... >> >> thanks, >> >> greg k-h >> > > > Thanks > > marek > -- > as simple as primitive as possible > ---------------------------------------------- > Marek Beli?ko - open-nandra > Rusk?
