I did a little research and at first I thought it was RH 7.2 or the linux kernel, but it is not RH it is the linux kernel. The cpia driver in 2.4.14 is broke! (at least on my system) This is the driver for the webcam II parallel port module. (From 2.4.13) The output of the file /proc/cpia/video0 should show the following: cat /proc/cpia/video0 |head read-only ----------------------- V4L Driver version: 0.7.4 CPIA Version: 1.20 (1.0) CPIA PnP-ID: 0553:0002:0100 VP-Version: 1.0 0100 system_state: 0x02 grab_state: 0x00 stream_state: 0x00 fatal_error: 0x00 Current Directory = ~ but it does not, in fact in 2.4.14 it shows CPIA Version: 0.00 and everything else is 0 as well. I have reverted back to 2.4.13 but would like to let the maintainers know. If you look at the 2.4.14 patch the code for the cpia driver has changed. I am not sure if it is the cpia driver itselef or the video subsystem (v4l/v4l2). If anyone knows how to contact the maintainers and let them know that this code is not working great. zcat /public/untarred/patch-2.4.14.gz |grep cpia |head diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.4.13/linux/drivers/media/video/cpia.c linux/drivers/media/video/cpia.c --- v2.4.13/linux/drivers/media/video/cpia.c Tue Oct 9 17:06:51 2001 +++ linux/drivers/media/video/cpia.c Thu Oct 25 13:53:47 2001 - proc_cpia_create(); - request_module("cpia_pp"); - request_module("cpia_usb"); oh I am not on the list thanks Joe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
