[Bug 39307] Re: Sonypi motioneye camera not recognized

[stelian]

Sonypi does not do any webcam recognision at all. The 'camera' parameter is supposed to be set *by the user* if he wants sonypi to do some magical voodoo in order to turn on the motion eye camera.

Also, do read Documentation/video4linux/meye.txt in the kernel source. You'll find out that the meye driver works only with a specific generation of motion eye cameras (the PCI ones you'll find on C1VM/N/E Sony Vaio Picturebooks).

All the other motion eye cameras are unsupported and will require a full driver to be written for (unless they are based on some common chipset which is supported by a "standard" webcam driver - pwc for example).
