[madcow983]

Hi!
I've found the driver for the USB2.0 stk11xx Syntek Webcam, that are built-in in many laptops!!!
but ...
Iì can't install them and in the readme at the installation line there is: "TODO..."

the drivers are available here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=509183

Can somebody help me?
thank's!!!!!!

i have the same web cam on asus f3jr. installation works and driver too but some problems on my webcam like contrast.... try this installation method.

as root do this:

#mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-util/ctags
#mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-video/stk11xx
#cd /usr/local/portage/media-video/stk11xx

download here the files
stk11xx-1.0.0-ctags.patch
and
stk11xx-1.0.0.ebuild (working ebuild)
from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178946 page

so
always as root do this
edit your /etc/make.conf adding this line:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
then
in the directory /usr/local/portage/media-video/stk11xx
create a directory called files
#mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-video/stk11xx/files
cp stk11xx-1.0.0-ctags.patch /usr/local/portage/media-video/stk11xx/files
#ebuild stk11xx-1.0.0.ebuild digest
#emerge -pv stk11xx

so try your webcam!!!
hope it helps

Hello everybody!
There is a simple way to install those drivers! i've found it in the italian forum!

just follow the instruction of this link!!
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/Webcam/Syntec

than you can specify the options at the bottom of /etc/modprobe.conf
