    HOWTO: Making ICM532 chipset based webcams work on breezy

    Some of you probably might have noticed ICM532 chipset based webcams freezing on breezy (for a comprehensive list refer to: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ) when u turn on gnomemeeting or camorama. Herez the fix for that:
    FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS! DONT TAKE SHORTCUTS OR MAKE MODIFICATIONS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
    You need to do the following step by step

    FOR DAPPER and EDGY
    If you are on Dapper or Edgy do the following instead of the above:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` build-essential
    wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
    tar xvfz spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
    cd spca5xx-20060501
    make
    sudo modprobe -r spca5xx
    sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx*
    sudo make install
    sudo modprobe spca5xx
    FOR BREEZY
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` build-essential gcc-3.4
    wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
    tar xvfz spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
    cd spca5xx-20060501
    sudo make CC=gcc-3.4
    sudo modprobe -r spca5xx
    sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx*
    sudo make install
    sudo modprobe spca5xx
    Now you should be all set to use ur ICM532 chipset based webcam.

    is it just gnomemeeting which is freezing or the whole system? there is a command line app called gqcam
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gqcam

    Thank you very much for your advice. The pc-ocular (USB SPCA5XX camera found. SONIX sn9c102 Hv7131R) for my microscope works now perfectly!

    Take this leg of a fly as present.
