Hi pwc experts,
we are using the Toucam 740 and are very happy with its performance
together with the Mandriva 2006 distro. However, occasionally we get the
error massage
VIDIOCPWCAGC: invalid argument. We can still see the images on qastrocam
as our frontend, but it writes this error line after line for hours,
sometimes. And this is what is weird: Not all the time. The newest pwc
driver 10.0.7a-1mdk for mandriva is installed. Now the puzzling part:
typing setpwc -p gives us the automatic gain control value of some
negative number, implying the webcam is on auto-mode, what it should be.
Is it possible that qastrocam is still using an older driver? How could
i find out and how could I remove an older driver and use the newest
installed one for all programs?
Thanks for your help!
Thomas
