Hi Thomas, you misunderstood me - my digital camera was having issues
focusing for the close-up.  Seems it needed more light.  I've attached a
snap - it might even make it to the list.  Here's the text on the chip
in case it doesn't:

ALi
M5603C A1
0538   TU05
XHHMH900000E

Googling the M5603C brought me to here:

http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/mydownloads/

...which is a closed-source module which apparently works.  I have tried
their time-limited beta (ugh) and it doesn't load for me when I try to
modprobe it.

dvincent at kodos:~$ sudo modprobe sn9cxxx
FATAL: Error inserting sn9cxxx
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/sn9c102/sn9cxxx.ko):
Invalid argument

I am not sure what that means.  What argument?  :)

I also found this:

http://www.liddicott.com/~sam/?p=76

...which is a guy offering a bounty for someone to code a working driver
for the M560x chipset, and this:

https://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=185953

...which is a project developing a driver for the M560x chipset.  No
packages available from there though I could try the svn repo.  That's
my last option apparently.

Got any further suggestions?  I also tried Easycam but as I'm not
supported by the spca driver I had no luck.
