MESSAGE FROM BRIAN JOHNSON
Hey,
So over this weekend i’ve spent some time putting together some deb
files for ubuntu gutsy and hardy. The deb files are built using the
v4l2 branch plus a couple of other patches from this list that are not
currently committed. These include Vasily’s I420 performance patch,
and Frank’s patches for adding sharpness control and separating out
the bridge image adjustment functions. The debs are for the 2.6.22-14
kernel in gutsy and 2.6.24-17 in hardy.

I’ve currently set up my own apt repository at
http://innercirclemedia.com/apt to use this repository run the
following commands from the terminal:
wget -q http://innercirclemedia.com/apt/E96E8AC2.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Hardy
sudo wget http://innercirclemedia.com/apt/hardy.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sn9c20x.list
Gutsy
sudo wget http://innercirclemedia.com/apt/gutsy.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sn9c20x.list

sudo aptitude update

To install the driver use the following where is the
flavour of your kernel usually this will be generic

Hardy
sudo aptitude install sn9c20x-module-2.6.24-17-
Gutsy
sudo aptitude install sn9c20x-module-2.6.22-14-

I currently only have 32bit versions since i’m not suing a 64bit os
but you should still be able to checkout the source and then run
dpkg-buildpackage to build 64bit versions of these. If you do that sen
me the generated files and i can add them into the repository.

Patch if it doesn’t work, click here http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/attach/d389d70b4554488b/0001-Revert-624F-is-SXGA.patch?part=2
