Package: gqcam Version: 0.9+gg-1 Severity: normal
The Philips Toucam 820K/20 produces extremely poor video by default on the gqcam program. The image brightness changes repeatedly, but more problematically figments are created as if data is being overwritten, or the wrong data is being rendered. The work around is to disable the brigthness auto-scale feature under preferences. The camera is using the ov51x driver version 1.65-1.11 built from source with some mods, as the kernel driver in 2.6.11 (and earlier) complains about compression issues with the stock ov511 kernel. The camera chipset supports some brightness scaling features anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.6 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gqcam depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-9 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-17 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System Input extension li ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
