Comment 3 for bug 757040

to berot3:
Actually I've got syntek driver compiled this way: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10881833#post10881833
BUT camera still dont work with Skype. (although it works with everything else).
lsusb gives "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 174f:6a33 Syntek Web Cam - Asus F3SA, F9J, F9S"
dmesg | tail gives a bunch of "[ 521.830614] stk11xx: Check device return error (0x0201 = 0C) ! "

quoting one message from http://ubuntuforums.org/:
"Asus is a well known laptop brand that makes (made?) the F3 series laptops that came with Syntek webcams built in. For at least the past three years (that I can easily count), the Ubuntu forums, the bug reporting system, and other help sites on the Internet for Linux distros have been replete with complaints from users who cannot get their Syntek webcams to work properly.

I wonder if there is anyone out there connected to the Ubuntu development team who might be able to get someone to work a bit on this problem. After all, three years is not a short period of time and Asus is not a small manufacturer of laptops ."

And he is damn right. Is it so hard to include properly working syntek driver in ubuntu distors???
