Comment 9 for bug 326674

Hi Manoj

Sorry, I had trouble compiling my own kernel - it is not easy with linux-source...

Anyway, the kernel from http://people.ubuntu.com/~manjo/lp326674-jaunty/ works in so far as the camera is detected, and I can get a picture with cheese. The quality in 640x480 is horrible (way to dark), but 320x240 is alright, very responsive, if a bit noisy.

I do get a lot of error message on the console like

libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffff

(and similar numbers), so the support does not seem perfect yet. But it is much better than nothing.

ekiga crashes, whether I use the webcam or not, so I cannot test that.
