[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#530593: [hal] My camera is not working (A4Tech ViewCam Model: PK-835)

[Miro Hadzhiev]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

My A4Tech ViewCam Model: PK-835 is not recognized.
It does not work in Cheese, Skype, etc. at all.
Cheese reports: "No Camera Found!"

Reproducible: Always

The same bug under Ubuntu 64-bit edition.
There is no problem under the 32-bit version (the camera is working
out-of-the-box). I have not tested the 32-bit version of Debian, yet, to see
whether it works under it, too.


This is what "dmesg" says after I plugged in the camera:
