Right, but I don't use the bit 6, it is the bit 5:

which is described as:

   Bit[5]:  Banding filter ON/OFF

Quite the same thing:

   Bit[5]: Banding filter ON/OFF - In order to turn ON the banding
           filter, BD50ST (0x9D) or BD60ST (0x9E) must be set to a
           non-zero value.
           0: OFF
           1: ON

(the registers 9d and 9e are non zero for the ov767x in ov534.c)

He has exactly the same webcam as yours: 1415:2000 (ps eye) with
sensor ov772x.

Thanks.

Well, here is one of the last message I received from Alexander (in
fact, his first name is Fabian):

So, how may we advance?
