Hi,

I know you officially do not support the BisonCam NP Pro (5986:0192) as
it is not listed at http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/. However, my laptop
has one integrated and I have to report that it did work before.
Nonetheless, the driver must have changed withing the last 4-5 month, as
it is not displaying any image anymore.

I believe the connection is set up properly, as dmesg | tail shows:

[***@schnecki-laptop ~]$ dmesg | tail
[ 700.623454] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e06e <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 700.979356] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xee on isa0060/serio0).
[ 700.979360] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e06e <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 700.996694] usb 2-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
[ 701.115389] media: Linux media interface: v0.10
[ 701.118634] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 701.122908] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam_NB_Pro (5986:0192)
[ 701.125809] input: BisonCam_NB_Pro as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.0/input/input19
[ 701.125869] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[ 701.125870] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)


Also the device /dev/video0 is properly created:

[***@schnecki-laptop ~]$ ll /dev/video0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 May 27 12:54 /dev/video0

That means the device is also found by the programs like Cheese or
guvcview. However the display stays completely black. It seems like no
data is transmitted.

Do you have any ideas where the error could lie?


Best regards

Manuel

hmm, I just checked it using an Ubuntu Live CD and found out that it
does not work there either. I guess it's a hardware failure then.

Sorry for the inconvenience.


Cheers
