I have a GE EasyCam Pro (05a9:a518, OV518+, OV7620AE). Many kernel versions ago, the camera worked, using Mark McClelland's out-of-tree drivers at <http://ovcam.org/ov511/>. However, it seems that those drivers have remained untouched for more than 3 years, and of course they're long-incompatible with 2.6.30. The in-tree driver lacks the decompressor required for this particular implementation. I seem to recall that there was some specific issue with including the decompressor in the kernel source, but I can't find a reference anymore. I found a hacked-up driver that includes JPEG code in the module (ov51x-jpeg), but of course that's risky, unfavorable, and requires out-of-tree maintenance. Does anyone know what is required to make this work again? I'm willing to do the work, but I just don't know where to start. Does the decompressor support belong in applications themselves? Does the V4L library require work to support it? What can I do to make this work with the in-tree driver?
