On my MacBook, when I first boot to OSX ( still 10.4.7 ) and then reboot to Linux, the device is detected by uvcvideo but it is not able to deliver any video image.

When I cold boot to Linux and upload the firmware, there is no such problem.

Have you seen this before?

I am running Gentoo, Gnome 2.16 on a kernel.org mactel linux patched 2.6.17.11 kernel and run into some problems with my iSight.

I have managed to get it to detect in Ekiga and built the kernel module and loaded the firmware with the extract binary.

However when I try to display the iSight output in Ekiga I get a message:

“Error while opening video device Built-in iSight

A moving logo will be transmitted during calls. Notice that you can always transmit a given image or the moving logo by choosing “Picture” as video plugin and “MovingLogo” or “StaticPicture” as device.

Your video driver doesn’t support the requested video format.”

Now I have managed to get the following output:

spitfire linux-uvc-0.1.0-e # ./extract /lib/firmware/AppleUSBVideoSupport
Apple iSight with firmware already loaded found
Apple iSight with firmware already loaded found

but I can’t seem to unload and reload it in case there is some problem with the order I did things in.

My firmware – copied from the Mac OSX Partition is as follows:

spitfire linux-uvc-0.1.0-d # sha1sum /lib/firmware/AppleUSBVideoSupport
01e291d529e7c18deea2eba252d18114e096276e /lib/firmware/AppleUSBVideoSupport

So it looks like I have the firmware that you publish second above. Perhaps this is similar to the problem posted by Arne on October 6?

I would love to hear your comment.

BTW you latest update here shows version d but my install is e…

Thank you for your efforts :)
