Genius eye 312 linux

I need help configuring a Genius Eye 512 webcam with Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 093a:2622 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

gspca seems to support 093a:2621 but not 2622

Any luck in finding a solution for this problem? I have the same web cam and the same problem. Initially I was unable to even detect the cam in Intrepid.
After applying the change suggested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009985, both skype and ekiga and Cheese detected the cam, but none of them displayed any video or images. I have tried the PRELOAD thing, but with no luck.

It seems like there are many people around the world that are struggling with this same problem (same web cam and the same version of ubuntu) and I think it merits some time from the guys at canonical. If someone can translate the solutions in this post, it might also help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845262

Still no luck. Looks I will have to wait until drivers for this webcam are written.

Please let us know if you find a solution to this, i have the same problem. The microphone works fine but no webcam

not sure if this helps anyone but I was having similar problems trying to get cam going in Ubuntu 810 when using aMSN.

so tried opening ekiga and then selecting the video tab, then go to the edit tab and select preferences form the drop down list.

next click the enable video check box and Success! the web cam sprang to life.

have no success as yet though in aMSN

Found the solution.
Just need to get te following gspca sources and compile them.

run this as a single command!

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) && wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2 && tar xf tip.tar.bz2 && cd gspca-* && make && sudo make install && sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)

web camera «Genius Eye 312» is ready to use. tested with «Cheese»!
By default the picture is fliped up side down, picture hight level contrasted and very dark, but I think this can be configured.

Anyway if somebody knows how to do this — detailed instructions will be appreciated!!

Hi!
Does not work on Hardy. Cheese flashes one flash per 10 secs, Skype has a green screen, and nothing more. 🙁

Does not work with the new kernel on Jaunty Either.

Doesn’t work and also when doing modprobe gspca gives a strange and new error message: FATAL: error insterting gspca. Makes to see dmesg and this is what you get.

gspca: disagrees about version of symbol video_devdata
[ 157.718341] gspca: Unknown symbol video_devdata
[ 157.718481] gspca: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device
[ 157.718483] gspca: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[ 157.718532] gspca: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_alloc
[ 157.718533] gspca: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc

[ 157.718553] gspca: Unknown symbol video_register_device

[ 157.718659] gspca: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_release
[ 157.718661] gspca: Unknown symbol video_device_release

first check what’s on lsmod

lsmod |grep gspcait should show something like this

gspca_sonixb 13824 1
gspca_main 29568 2 gspca_sonixb
videodev 45088 3 gspca_main,compat_ioctl32
usbcore 170288 6 gspca_sonixb,gspca_main,usblp,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcdrem ove any gspca_»XXXX» (were XXXX is any other sub-module, that doesn’t work with the 312 spheric thingy), doing this:

sudo modprobe -r gspca_XXXX(replace the XXXX with anything that you could have)

Then put the right sub-module, which is

sudo modprobe gspca_pac7311Watch this interesting file from the linux foundation regarding drivers for devices that SHOULD work with video4linux

I have a Genius iLook 300 (Vendor ID 093a:2628 ) and that one is not present at the video4linux list isn’t any replacement? 🙁

Found the solution.

Worked for me in cheese and skype (the latter with some few quirks)

Now, is there any way we can get a normal and acceptable image quality (non inverted and with decent contrast)?

Hello. the solution proposed above solved the problem in my Ubuntu 9.04 and Genius Eye 312, but there is a problem. the image get flicked ��.

Now, sorry for the thread revival, but has anyone managed to fix the problems mentioned before with this webcam?

Finally I got my Genius iLook 300 to work on karmic .. other webcams should work too ..
You can follow the steps explain here http://stemp.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/karmic-get-the-latest-drivers-for-gspca-uvc-usbvideo-and-other/ and your webcam will work.

I have Ubuntu 11.04 and Genius Eye312

when i wrote lsmod |grep gspca i get this

gspca_pac7302 18099 0
gspca_main 27826 1 gspca_pac7302
videodev 75143 1 gspca_main

i wrote like they sad here to wrote gspca_7311 instead gspca_pac7302 but no succes,
