OVCam Drivers for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels More thorough installation instructions are available at: http://ovcam.org/ov511/install.html Simplified Installation Instructions: IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2.6 KERNELS: The OVCam drivers use the new 2.6 modular build process. You must have read/write access to your kernel source tree. If not, log in as root before running the following commands. make clean make (log in as root) make install Loading the modules: As of version 2.21, the camera chip code is in a separate module (ovcamchip). If you have a camera, this must be loaded either before or after loading the ov511 or ovfx2 drivers: modprobe ovcamchip or, if you have a video-capture box from Lifeview (USB CapView): modprobe saa7111-new If the box also has a TV tuner (Lifeview USB LifeTV): modprobe tda7313 (audio chip driver) insmod tuner.o (TV tuner driver. This is different from the tuner.o that's in the kernel) Finally, load the driver itself. For OV511, OV511+, OV518, and OV518+ cameras: modprobe ov511 or, for the Orange Micro iBot2: modprobe ovfx2 Compression support: - For OV511/OV511+ cameras: Compression support is built into ov511.o. You must load ov511.o with the "compress=1" module parameter to enable it. - For OV518/OV518+ cameras: Compression support is built into ov511.o and enabled by default. - For OVFX2 cameras: Compression is not supported by the camera (USB 2 is fast enough to not need it). Please see ov511.txt for more information.
