Hi List.

This is a bump to keep this thread in view - I've not received any help
since my last post so I just wanted to keep this visible in the hopes
someone out there can help.

I've got a Creative Live! Pro webcam I want to get working with Ubuntu.
Here is some info taken directly off the chip inside the camera as well
as some links and info I've found:

ALi
M5603C A1
0538 TU05
XHHMH900000E

Googling the M5603C brought me to here:

http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/mydownloads/

...which is a closed-source module which apparently works. I have tried
their time-limited beta (ugh) and it doesn't load for me when I try to
modprobe it.

dvincent@kodos:~$ sudo modprobe sn9cxxx
FATAL: Error inserting sn9cxxx
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/sn9c102/sn9cxxx.ko):
Invalid argument

I am not sure what that means. What argument? :) Possibly a kernel
mismatch?

I also found this:

http://www.liddicott.com/~sam/?p=76

...which is a guy offering a bounty for someone to code a working driver
for the M560x chipset, and this:

https://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=185953

...which is a project developing a driver for the M560x chipset. No
packages available from there though I could try the svn repo. That's
my last option apparently but it won't make for me.

Got any further suggestions? I also tried Easycam but as I'm not
supported by the spca driver I had no luck.

Thanks.
