Yesterday, M. Xhaard released gspcav which seems to support a greater number of cams than spca5xx. An ebuild should be created for Gentoo. That would be really nice.
Hello! Here is an ebuild! I recommend to use this instead of spca5xx! It also hat included this patch : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146124 Compiles and Works for me!
Created attachment 98137 [details] gspcav1-20060925.ebuild gspcav1-20060925.ebuild
You beat me to it. The ebuild I created is essentially exactly the same as the one already here. Anyway it works great for me. Hopefully this will make its way into official portage soon. emerge --info Portage 2.1.2_pre2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-rc4-no1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-rc4-no1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 07:00:04 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.5-r1, 2.0.27-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17-r4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fno-ident -frename-registers" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fno-ident -frename-registers -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=both" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/conrad /usr/local/overlays/seb /usr/local/overlays/toolchain_overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aiglx alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts cdrw cli crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr elibc_glibc encode ffmpeg fortran gdbm gpm gtk2 input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kernel_linux libg++ lm_sensors mad matroska mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python quicktime readline reflection sdl session spl ssl svg tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia x264 xcomposite xorg zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

After Emerge -C spca5xx and emerging gspcav1, I try to view my camera and it crashes my system.(by crash i mean completly freeze, i have to press the power button to shut it off) This happened with the spca5xx driver so im wondering if i just need to switch to gcc3 and recompile my kernel? Also notice when i run lsmod, I see that the spca5xx driver is still listed in video_dev.

(reply to #10) Hi, that's a known issue. Remove 4kb stacks optimization in the kernel config. Have fun!
how? and where?
(In reply to comment #12) > how? and where? > Kernel-Hacking -> Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb ********************************************************** Nonetheless for me it doesn't work. I have a Z-Star Vimicro zc0305b. lsusb: 0ac8:305b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. And it doesn't work neither with spca5xx (Patch for 2.6.18) nor with gspca. With gspca I get only a black screen, with spca5xx I got also only a black screen and additionally the computer freezes (resetbutton). Of course I switched the kernel configuration to 8Kb stacks. I also tried with modprobe gspca usbgrabber=1. But I think it doesn't depend on Gentoo. Today I compiled these two drivers on Knoppix (Debian Kernel 2.6.12) with same result.

Mine worked fine after i switched to 8kb stacks, after i did that i ran modprobe gpsca and voila! :) Maybe the problem is your camera, are you sure its in the support list of the spca5xx or gspca driver? or It could be that your camera is busted hehe..
in cvs, but masked
(In reply to comment #14) > Maybe the problem is your camera, are you sure its > in the support list of the spca5xx or gspca driver? yes, it is. > or It could be that your > camera is busted hehe.. The camera works fine in windows. So I wrote directly to Michel Xhaard. Answer: "the sensor detected seem is not the good one can you find the *.inf file from your windows driver I will try to identify what sensor are on." I did so. And now I'm waiting and hoping. :) So basically the bug is not gentoo-related.
