Recently, I submitted a driver for the SQ905C cameras, for which I (partly
due to being new to kernel video support) did not provide any update to
Documentation/video4linux/gspca.txt.
I have not heard what has happened to the driver. I assume that what is
going on is there is a race condition about getting things into 2.6.29,
and there is not time to do a proper evaluation. While I am curious about
the actual problem, though, that is not my question here.
Someone pointed out to me that I probably should have updated the
aforementioned doc file. So I do have a question about that.
Here is the way that gspca.txt looks now (excerpt follows):
List of the webcams known by gspca.
The modules are:
gspca_main main driver
gspca_xxxx subdriver module with xxxx as follows
xxxx vend:prod
----
spca501 0000:0000 MystFromOri Unknow Camera
m5602 0402:5602 ALi Video Camera Controller
spca501 040a:0002 Kodak DVC-325
spca500 040a:0300 Kodak EZ200
(and so on)
Well, now comes the question. I notice that each line in the file
corresponds to a USB Vendor:Product ID, and each line corresponds to one
camera, by brand name and model. Apparently, there is some blessed
universe in which I have not been living the last few years, in which
there is such a one-to-one correspondence.
Below, I give the list of supported cameras. extracted from
libgphoto2/camlibs/digigr8. which as far as I am able to know is
supporting precisely the same set of cameras as does the module sq905c.c
My question is obvious: Which of them do I list? All of them? A sampling
of them? Or what?
