Hello,
I have a OLD Creative Video Blaster WebCam II (Parallel port) in my Mandrake
9.1, but It works _slooooooowly_ (about 1 frame every second). I have
downloaded the lastest cpia drivers from http://webcam.sourceforge.net (the
"original" mandrake 9.1 drivers was very old!!!!), and I have compiled it and
I have copied the files cpia.o cpia_pp.o cpia_usb.o in the directory
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video.
In my /etc/modules.conf I have added the lines:
options cpia_pp partport=0
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3
Now, the frame rate is better (about 10 fps), but after 1 min. running the
program doesn't respond. I have used xawtv and camstreams programs with the
same results.
In The logs (dmesg) I have _a lot_ of lines like:
parport0: PE timeout Event 40 (-4) in ecp_read_block_dma
What is it wrong? Maybe, have I to patch the kernel or the paralell port
module?
Thanks,
Cris,
