[Pkg-spca5xx-devel] Bug#423920: gspca+xawtv get stuck for several hours rather than until the next reboot

[Omer Zak]

One more data point:
I left the system as is during the night, and the next day - when waking
up - I saw that xawtv -hwscan finished, giving the following output:

omer at c2:~$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-4-686)
looking for available devices
port 65-65
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : NV Video Overlay

port 66-97
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : NV Video Blitter

/dev/video0: OK                         [ -device /dev/video0 ]
    type : v4l
    name : Logitech QuickCam EC
    flags:  capture

When running again xawtv -hwscan, it again got stuck after identifying
port 66-97.
