PWCX isthe (binary only) decompressor module and was introduced to separate theopen source part of the driver from the stuff I cannot release as source; itis available for several platforms and you can <a href="#pwcx">download</a>it from this page.<p>The PWC module is the core of the driver, and is part of the Linux sourcetree since 2.4.5. Below is a table listing required PWC and kernel versionsfor all the supported cameras. The listed numbers do not mean you you musthave exactly that PWC version or kernel; only that you must have <i>atleast</i> that version.</p><p>The PWC modules behave the same in the 2.4 and 2.5 branch of the Linuxkernel tree. The 2.2 Linux kernel is no longer supported by me, although themodule can still be downloaded.</p><P><a name="table"><table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"><tr> <th>Camera</th> <th width="80">PWC version</th> <th width="80">2.4 kernel</th> <th width="80">2.5 kernel</th></tr><tr> <td>PCA 645VC<br>PCA 646VC</td> <td>8.0</td> <td>2.4.6</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>PCVC 675K<br>PCVC 680K<br>PCVC 690K</td> <td>8.0</td> <td>2.4.6</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>PCVC 720K/40<sup>2</sup></td> <td>8.10.1</td> <td>2.4.22</td> <td>2.6.0-test*</td></tr><tr> <td>PCVC 730K<br>PCVC 740K</td> <td>8.0</td> <td>2.4.6</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>PCVC 750K</td> <td>8.1</td> <td>2.4.9</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>Askey VC010</td> <td>8.0</td> <td>2.4.6</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>Creative Labs Webcam 5<sup>2</sup></td> <td>8.5</td> <td>2.4.18</td> <td>2.5.2</td></tr><tr> <td>Creative Labs Webcam Pro Ex</td> <td>8.10.1</td> <td>-</td> <td>-</td></tr><tr> <td>Logitech QuickCam 3000 Pro</td> <td>8.2</td> <td>2.4.13</td> <td>2.5.0</td></tr><tr> <td>Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro</td> <td>8.8</td> <td>2.4.19</td> <td>2.5.33</td></tr><tr> <td>Logitech QuickCam Notebook Pro</td> <td>8.9</td> <td>2.4.21</td> <td>2.5.50</td></tr><tr> <td>Logitech QuickCam Zoom</td> <td>8.9</td> <td>2.4.21</td> <td>2.5.50</td></tr><tr> <td>Samsung MPC-C10<br>Samsung MPC-C30</td> <td>8.3</td> <td>2.4.13</td> <td>2.5.0</td></tr><tr> <td>Sotec Afina Eye</li></td> <td>8.5</td> <td>2.4.18</td> <td>2.5.2</td></tr><tr> <td>AME Co.

See also the <a href="#pwcx">PWCX9</a> module. This package contains code for 2.4 and 2.6 kernel series.</p><p><a href="pwc-9.0.1.tar.gz">pwc-9.0.1.tar.gz</a> (93619 bytes)</p><h2><a name="pwc8">PWC 8.* Core</a></h2><p><b>Note</b>: The PWC module is now part of the main kernel tree and isstill in active development. However, because of the slow progress on the2.4 front, I'm putting up the source here for separate download too. In general it should work withouth a problem on the latest 2.4 and 2.5 kernels.</p><P>However, upgrading your PWC drivers into an older kernel like 2.4.9(shipped with Red Hat 7.2), may lead to some unexpected results or fail tocompile. Although the USB layer has been stable for quite some time, therecould have been changes that affect the PWC driver. So don't complain whenit breaks, okay? :-) If it doesn't work just install the latest kerneland see what happens.</p><h3>Changelog</h3><a name="pwc8.12"><h4>8.12 <a href="pwc-8.12.tar.gz">pwc-8.12.tar.gz</a></h4></a><p><b>Note</b>: if you have trouble compiling pwc-uncompress.c on an SMPkernel, remove the line with <code>#include <linux/sched.h></code>from that file.</p><p>Most important change in this release: support for the motorized pan& tilt features of the new Logitech QuickCam Orbit and Spherewebcams.</p><p>Code is available for 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test7; will probably workon 2.4.21 and 2.5.75+ too.</p><a name="pwc8.11"><h4>8.11 <a href="pwc-8.11.tar.gz">pwc-8.11.tar.gz</a> </h4></a><p>Changes in this release:<ul> <li>20 dev_hints (per request).</li> <li>Hot unplugging should be better, no more dangling pointers or memory leaks.</li> <li>Added reserved Logitech webcam IDs.</li> <li>Device now remembers size & fps between close()/open()</li> <li>Removed palette stuff altogether</li> <li>Fixed ID for Creative Labs Webcam Pro Ex</li></ul></p><p>Code is available for 2.4.21 and 2.5.75; it might work on other kernels,but no guarantees!</p><a name="pwc8.10.1"><h4>8.10.1 (kernel 2.4.20 only, sorry) <a href="pwc-8.10.1.tar.gz">pwc-8.10.1.tar.gz</a></h4></a><P>This is a quick fix to get the PCVC720K/40 and Creative Labs Webcam ProEx working.</p><a name="pwc8.10"><h4>8.10 (kernel 2.4.20, 2.5.51) <a href="pwc-8.10.tar.gz">pwc-8.10.tar.gz</a></h4></a><p>This package contains code that was tested on 2.4.20 and 2.5.51; thiscode is a 'drop-in' replacement: just copy the files for your kernel versionto the apropriate directory, rebuild your kernel and install themodules.</p><p><b>Note</b> This code is developed on the 'stock' Linus kernel, and noton any fancy kernel shipped with some Linux distros. Chances are this codewill not work on such kernels, so be careful (your best bet is to download akernel from ftp.kernel.org and use that).
