OVCam Drivers for 2.4 and 2.5 kernels More thorough installation instructions are available at: http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/install.html Quick Installation (2.4 kernels): make clean make (log in as root) make install Quick Installation (2.5 kernels): make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build -f Makefile SUBDIRS=$PWD modules make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build -f Makefile SUBDIRS=$PWD modules_install This uses the new 2.5 modular build process. Loading the modules: As of version 2.21, the camera chip code is in a separate module (ovsensor). If you have a camera, this must be loaded either before or after loading the ov511 or ovfx2 drivers: modprobe ovsensor or, if you have a video-capture box from Lifeview: modprobe saa7111-new 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.
