hi all
i own a philips toucam pro II which should be able to do some high resolution captures (i.e. 640x480).
i am using kernel 2.6.11mm4 with the available pwc module; the documentation says i should modprobe it passing some parameters, i am doing this right now but cant modify the resolution, as you may notice:

Code:

zobiak pwc # rmmod pwc
zobiak pwc # modprobe pwc size=vga fps=15 power_save=1
zobiak pwc # setpwc -p
