Eyetoy with Kernel 2.6.9?

[zeroK]

Has anyone already got the eyetoy webcam working with kernel 2.6.9? I tried it with version 1.65 and 2.28 of the ovcam drivers available here
http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x
... but somehow none of them really worked

In dmesg I only get this message when trying to load one of these modules:

[garlicbread]

I've not got around to trying this on my own system yet

But I remember reading here
http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/faq.html
that the OV519 chipset which is what the eyetoy uses
gives out a jpeg compressed output
(which Video 4 Linux or other apps are not able to deal with)

But it also mentions a utill called getjpeg that can be used to grab single fames
have you tried this yet?

Thanks But the problem starts much earlier. The module uses the remap_page_range function which seems not to exist :S
When compiling the ov51x-1.65-1.11-mark version i get for example following warning:

[zeroK]

After simply replacing all the calls of the remap_page_range function in the with io_remap_page_range functions i could load this module with

hi,

followed your changes and now ov511 loads here also,
but udev doesnt seem to create a device file for it.

This is the only entry seen in dmesg after modprobing the driver:

/usr/src/ov511-2.28/ov511_core.c: v2.28 : ov511 USB Camera Driver (V4L2 disabled)

How did you get software work with the device?
