| == Not supported == There is currently (December 2006) no Debian/linux support for this device. There is a project for this chipset (http://m560x.x3ng.com/) with some skeleton drivers and traces from other OSes, but not something that can be used: after loading the kernel module {{{m560x}}} a kernel OOps occurs: a null pointer is dereferenced. Some further look in the code reveals, that there is more or less no error checking or handling and no error messages are printed at all. |
== Not supported / Not working in lenny == Looks, that the current lenny backport kernel (2.6.30) at least knows about the camera device: {{{ ALi m5602: Probing for a po1030 sensor ALi m5602: Probing for a mt9m111 sensor ALi m5602: Probing for a s5k4aa sensor ALi m5602: Probing for an ov9650 sensor ALi m5602: Detected an ov9650 sensor usbcore: registered new interface driver ALi m5602 ALi m5602: registered }}} But any application (xawtv, cheese, ...) only shows a black picture. |
Asus PW210
Why?
There is no need to describe the TFT monitor part of this device: just chose 1680x1050 as the default display resolution and it works. But this display has also a build in web cam - and this is the reason why it is described here.
Web Cam
The built-in web cam is based on the 5602 chip from ALi. A lsusb shows:
