hi all
i have a creative webcam... its a pd1001 model ... using ov511 chip and ov518
compression. well my problem is that everything is set ok. the kernel
recognises it and loads the modules at startup. but when i try to run xawtv
.... it doesnt show any pictures. please note that the camera works fine on
windows 98.
Hmm, does dmesg report that the camera has an OV6620 chip? If so, you'll
need to upgrade to the latest driver version (2.22) at:

I haven't tested that code yet (I don't have one of these cameras), but
I got one report so far that it works. If it doesn't, try loading ov511
with the "force_palette=1" module param.
