I try to use spca5xx driver for my usb creative NX webcam. All seems
fine except that the system hangs at boot up if the webcam is plugged
in. When the system hangs if i unplugged the webcam the system continue
the boot process. Someone has an idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks
No one use this very usefull driver ?
Yes, I use the spca5xx driver module. I've used it for my Ezonics
EZ-306 USB webcam with FC2 and now with FC4. I'm currently running the
stock 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 i686 kernel on a Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L
motherboard with an AMD XP 2600+ processor using the spca5xx-20050601
loadable module driver. It works fine with GnomeMeeting and does not
cause any boot problems with the webcam plugged in at boot time. I
assume you have done a fresh rebuild and reinstall of the spca5xx
module? Tony Nelson's suggestion to check your boot dmesg log file to
see when the spca5xx module is loaded is a good idea. The spca5xx
module is the last module loaded on my system. Make sure it is loading
after your USB drivers.
I see nothing about spca5xx driver in dmesg. How this module is
launched ? How to make it started as the last one ? I found nothing
in /etc/modprobe.conf and nothing in /etc/rc6.d/. This driver doesn't
seem to be launched as service.

Does "lsmod" show the spca5xx module to be loaded? When you rebuilt the
spca5xx module did you do a "make install" as root? That should have
installed a copy of spca5xx.ko in
/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/usb/media/ and run depmod
to update your modules.dep, modules.alias and modules.usbmap files. The
kernel should automatically load the spca5xx module. Try a fresh
rebuild and reinstall of the spca5xx module as root - make clean; make;
make install - and watch to see if there are any errors. If all went
well, try running GnomeMeeting and check the Preferences->Video Devices
option to see if Input devices is correct for your webcam. If not,
click the Detect Devices button. "lsmod|grep spca5xx" should show the
spca5xx module loaded and that the videodev module is using it. If this
is not the case, then maybe there is something wrong with your webcam or
USB controller. I just follow the instructions in the INSTALL file and
all works well. I hope this helps get your problem solved.
