OV51x USB Webcam Driver for 2.2, 2.4, and 2.5 kernels More thorough installation instructions are available in: doc/install.html or 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) 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 ov51x, and you must unload the decompressor BEFORE unloading ov51x. You will get errors otherwise. - For OV519 cameras: Standard JPEG Compression is used. You need an application that supports this. Only the included test/getjpeg program does so far as I know. Please see doc/ov51x.txt for more information.
