Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 Version: 2.6.29-5 Severity: normal The new GSPCA in the kernel mainline dropped support for this webcam and probably more since inclusion:
ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam There's a C-hardcoded "KConfig" #ifdef in the respective GSPCA chipset module which passes handling of this cam to the legacy zc0301 driver but it cannot support it: Jun 9 16:33:11 tom2 kernel: [ 1086.185254] usb 2-2.3: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 Jun 9 16:33:11 tom2 kernel: [ 1086.339258] usb 2-2.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0ac8, idProduct=303b Jun 9 16:33:11 tom2 kernel: [ 1086.339271] usb 2-2.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 9 16:33:11 tom2 kernel: [ 1086.339280] usb 2-2.3: Product: PC Camera Jun 9 16:33:11 tom2 kernel: [ 1086.339286] usb 2-2.3: Manufacturer: Vimicro Corp.

It worked but the new gspca v4l2 main has dropped other useful things like the brightness/contrast/color module parameters, so it was useless to me with applications not supporting v4l controls like adobe flash + flashcoms video chat. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 2.6.29-2-686 (Debian 2.6.29-5) (wa...@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Debian 4.3.3-10) ) #1 SMP Sun May 17 17:56:29 UTC 2009 ** Not tainted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
