Greetings SANE people. :)
Yes, I am new to SANE so please be gentle!
I grabbed SANE 1.0.3 yesterday and I must say the compile process
produced a LOT of warnings, mostly about unused variables and
comparisons between signed and unsigned. My compiler is relatively
old; it's the stock egcs compiler from SuSE 6.2 ("gcc version
egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)"). The compile
process was also pretty slow; my machine is lightly loaded and
relatively fast (pIII 500, 256MB RAM, blah blah). I'm just
wondering if all these things are "normal" for the SANE 1.0.3 build
process. I should also mention that I didn't do anything funky with
the configure, just a standard config with a --prefix.
On to the real issue. I have an old US Robotics Big Picture
camera. This thing comes with a video capture board made by
Hauppaugue Computer Works, the Win/TV people. The board is the
"Brooktree Bt848 (rev 17)". The kernel (2.2.17) has the bttv built
in but I haven't been able to get the camera to do anything at all
with SANE, or with any programs for that matter.
I tried using xcam but it gives me nothing. I would have expected
the capture board to show up in xcam's device list but it
doesn't. It's no where to be found.
xcam seems to have a few issues. It's segfaulted on me a number of
times. Namely when attempting to change stuff in the Preferences
menu (like "Show Advanced Options"). Maybe my gtk version is
flaky? I have both glib and gtk version 1.2.8. :/
In any case, this camera is the only piece of hardware I can't get
to function in Linux. 'Tis frustrating; if anyone has any pointers
please pass them along. I'll be thankful for any help.
Regards,
kw
