OV511 USB Webcam Driver for 2.2, 2.4, and 2.5 kernels More thorough installation instructions are available at: http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/install.html Quick Installation: make clean make (log in as root) make install (Gives a list of the supported installation types) (run the appropriate install command) NOTE: The i2c_algo_usb.[ch] files are only necessary if you want to help with TV tuner development. They are only compiled if you run "make i2c". You will have to install these extra modules manually. You will also need to enable basic I2C support and Bt848 video driver support in your kernel. Compression support: - For OV511/OV511+ cameras: The decompression module is ov511_decomp.o . You must load ov511.o with the "compress=1" module parameter to enable it. - For OV518/OV518+ cameras: The decompression module is ov518_decomp.o . Compression will always be enabled; no need to specify compress=1. - For all cameras: You must load the decompressor AFTER loading ov511, and you must unload the decompressor BEFORE unloading ov511. You will get errors otherwise. Please see ov511.txt for more information.
