A couple of years ago when I got a Dell SP2008WFP monitor (which has an integrated webcam) it used to crash F8 as soon as the webcam was plugged in. I never bothered with it again until today when I thought I would plug it in to my F10 system and see what happened since there has been a lot of video driver development since the F8 days. The webcam shows up in lsusb as: Bus 002 Device 008: ID 05a9:2641 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. Plugging it in gives a nice set of lines in /var/log/messages: Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Monitor Integrated Webcam (05a9:2641) Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround.

Anyway all seemed OK so I fired up the Cheese Webcam Booth under Applications->Sound and Video, and found the image worked really nicely - it starts quite dark and then auto adjusts to give a good image. So I fired up Skype - and to my pleasant surprise it worked just great - and the integrated microphone is also accessible via the same usb socket - and gives a really good quality audio in Skype - so I am really impressed that it just works "out of the box" now in F10. It might be worth trying a few other webcams that previously in earlier versions of Fedora needed drivers building and installing - maybe others could report similar successes with specific models of webcams in F10? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Reporting-a-nice-success-with-integrated-webcam-in-F10-tp22748808p22748808.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
