Someone on Debian has apparently found some drivers for the camera hardware from Android- it is to be seen as of yet, however, if these drivers work. Heres a link to their work on the MSSP4: https://github.com/jimdigriz/debian-mssp4
If anyone could walk me through the steps of compiling them, I could probably test them out- I'm currently on Arch with kernel 4.10, though I can set up a dualboot with Ubuntu if needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592201 Title: Webcam does not work on Surface Pro 4 Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Despite of the existing patch (e.g. https://github.com/tiggerite/mint-17.3-for-surface- pro-3/blob/master/patches-4.3/surface-cam.patch), it seems some surface pro 4 model (E.g. my i7 16G) uses a different webcam solution. From windows, there are three camera listed with "Camera" in their driver name. They are Microsoft Camera Front, Microsoft Camera Rear and Microsoft IR Camera Front. The properties dialogs show that they are OV5693, OV7251 and OV8865, seems they are i2c device instead of usb device.
