I have a Logitech Quickcam (device id 046d:0870) and I'm trying to make it work with the new kernel drivers for webcams, without success. It used to work with the old quickcam kernel module (http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/).

Apparently, the cam is recognized by the kernel. This is a snip of the log:
Code:
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 2
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] usb 5-2: New USB device found, idVendor=046d,
idProduct=0870
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] usb 5-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1,
SerialNumber=0

Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] STV06xx: HDCS-1020 sensor detected
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] STV06xx: Initializing camera
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] gspca: probe ok
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] usbcore: registered new interface driver STV06xx
Oct  5 19:56:18 [kernel] STV06xx: registered


However, I have tried several applications that use the cam (Kopete, aMSN and Camstream) and all of them show a black picture. Camstream shows these messages in the console:
Code:
W: Unsupported palette 0
W: run(): VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument)
W: VDLinux::run() VIDIOCMCAPTURE failed (Invalid argument)
W: run(): VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument)
W: VDLinux::run() VIDIOCMCAPTURE failed (Invalid argument)
W: run(): VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument)
W: VDLinux::run() VIDIOCMCAPTURE failed (Invalid argument)

Any idea?
