[Bug 39307] Sonypi motioneye camera not recognized

[Albert Vilella]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
This may be a long shot, but the maybe something can be done to get the
integrated video camera to work.

sonypi doesn't recognize the motioneye camera by default:

[4294702.453000] sonypi: Sony Programmable I/O Controller Driverv1.26.
[4294702.454000] sonypi: detected type2 model, verbose = 0, fnkeyinit = off, camera = off, compat = off, mask = 0xffffffff, useinput = on, acpi = on
[4294702.454000] sonypi: enabled at irq=11, port1=0x1080, port2=0x1084
[4294702.454000] sonypi: device allocated minor is 61

Although apparently it should be doable, via motioneye (via sonypi):

This is a USB Micro Vision camera. Attached are the details from the inf
Windows driver file.
