Does anyone know of a driver for the ALI M5603 USB webcam/webcam chip? I have one integrated in my Clevo D870P laptop.

I'm not sure what the official policy on bumping thread is here so please reprimand me if I'm being annoying.
It's a long time since I posted this but I haven't been able to find a driver yet. Does anyone know of one?

I plan to write a driver for it but it depends on Ali (former Acer) corporation when it will be finnished. They are terrible slow on sending me a datasheet on the circuit. I've mailed them a couple of times and even called them. Not very fun...been almost a week now.
Do you know what sensor is attached to your chip? Maybe you could help with some testing if I ever get the documents that I need?
Best regards,

|
|
I contacted Q-tec and ALi in an attempt to get them to release datasheets or make drivers. So far only Q-tec has responded:
| Quote: | Dear Mr. Englund,
We regret to inform you that Q-Tec Products are generally developed for use
with Windows® operating systems only,
and therefore no kernel modules or installation instructions for the Linux
// Unix operating system series are provided. Nor is in fact the use of our
products with them is in any way supported.
But what you can keep in mind is that half a year after release of this
hardware, the Macintosh community on the internet already included kernel
modules ("drivers" in windows) into their latest kernels possibly.
So visit the Gentoo support page regularly for updates of the Hardware
Compatability Lists.
Kind regards,

product = Webcam 300 USB 2.0
comments = Hello
I humbly request you release the datasheet for your webcams, enabling the
open source community to build a driver. If this is not possible, could you
influence ALI to do so?
I have been running Gentoo Linux on my Clevo D870P laptop since June 2004
without having been able to make use of the built-in webcam.
Theese links provide further information:
