I have installed your package, and it seems to work.
If I run the loader manually, everything seems fine :
franck@franck-laptop:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/r5u87x-loader --reload
r5u87x firmware loader v0.1
Searching for device...
Found camera : 05ca:1835
Firmware : /usr/share/usb/r5u87x/r5u87x-05ca-1835.fw
Camera reports positive microcode state.
Camera reports microcode version 0x0107.
Not doing anything - camera already setup.
Successfully uploaded firmware to device 05ca:1835!
reloading uvcvideo kernel module
But when I come to really use the webcam, I get this error with Cheese :
(cheese:8468): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad video_source:src returned caps
which are not a real subset of its template caps
libv4l2: error converting / decoding frame data: v4l-convert: error
destination buffer too small
In both cases, the little green led on the right of my camera lightens
up. But I can't get any picture to show...
Any idea ?
