[Bug 41779] Re: webcam error - ov511.c: No decompressor available

[alexroat]

Hello,
I had the same problem with all the Ubuntu releases 'till Hardy.
However, i solved the problem downloading the source of ov51x_jpeg module
from the repository and compiling the module.
Once it has been placed in /lib/modules it is sufficient to unload ov511 by
rmmod and then load in sequence ov51x_jpeg and ov511 modules with modprobe
to obtain the philips toucam 720 camera support with colors and other.
However, I noticed that there ar still some problems with kopete and other
IM softwares while it works with vlc and mplayer.
It would be nice to automatize the module loading when camera is plugged and
to fix the problems with kopete in order to get a full solution for video
calls, but I think It will take me less time buying a new camera, maybe with
a higher resolution.
