[Pkg-spca5xx-devel] Bug#423920: The bug is not gspca-specific - looks like a v4l or nv bug

Sat May 26 20:27:01 UTC 2007

I tested the same system with another Webcam, which uses the ov511
driver, and v4l-conf (activated from xawtv) got stuck the same way.
The problem seems to be in the v4l layer.

I use the Xorg 7.1.1 X-Window server, Device "nVidia Corporation NV34
[GeForce FX 5200]" using the free 'nv' module.
Originally my server loaded the 'v4l' module, but v4l-conf gets stuck
also when the server is configured NOT to load this module.
