This driver requires the "Sony Laptop Extras" driver (which 16*4882a593Smuzhiyuncan be found in the "Misc devices" section of the kernel configuration utility) 17*4882a593Smuzhiyunto be compiled and installed (using its "camera=1" parameter). 18*4882a593Smuzhiyun 19*4882a593SmuzhiyunIt can do at maximum 30 fps @ 320x240 or 15 fps @ 640x480. 20*4882a593Smuzhiyun 21*4882a593SmuzhiyunGrabbing is supported in packed YUV colorspace only. 22*4882a593Smuzhiyun 23*4882a593SmuzhiyunMJPEG hardware grabbing is supported via a private API (see below). 24*4882a593Smuzhiyun 25*4882a593SmuzhiyunHardware supported 26*4882a593Smuzhiyun------------------ 27*4882a593Smuzhiyun 28*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis driver supports the 'second' version of the MotionEye camera :) 29*4882a593Smuzhiyun 30*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe first version was connected directly on the video bus of the Neomagic 31*4882a593Smuzhiyunvideo card and is unsupported. 32*4882a593Smuzhiyun 33*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe second one, made by Kawasaki Steel is fully supported by this 34*4882a593Smuzhiyundriver (PCI vendor/device is 0x136b/0xff01) 35*4882a593Smuzhiyun 36*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe third one, present in recent (more or less last year) Picturebooks 37*4882a593Smuzhiyun(C1M* models), is not supported.
