[Bug 215604] Re: Genesys Logic Webcam 05e3:0503 Not Working

Mon Mar 16 13:53:01 UTC 2009

Tested OK with cheese, ekiga, amsn and skype on Ubuntu Intrepid with
Linux kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. Even automatic flipping of the image
when I turn the camera in the lid all the way around (away from me). See
below for details and warnings. Thanks. As far as I am concerned, this
can be shipped via backports or updates. :D

[Inserting the module...]
   sudo modprobe gl860 pilote="a"

[Setting flavour...]
   grep -v gl860 /etc/modprobe.d/options 2>/dev/null > tmp
   echo 'options gl860 pilote="a" ' >> tmp
   sudo cp tmp /etc/modprobe.d/options; rm -f tmp

[Load the driver at each startup...]
   grep -v gl860 /etc/modules 2>/dev/null > tmp
   echo 'gl860' >> tmp
   sudo cp tmp /etc/modules; rm -f tmp
*****************************************************************************
Now please try Camorama or Cheese. Refer to the README file for options!

Should the driver not work, test another version suitable for your webcam Mpixel
using: './install -s'. This will prompt you for a driver flavour.
