^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) This driver enable the use of video4linux compatible applications with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) Motion Eye camera. This driver requires the "Sony Laptop Extras" driver (which
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) can be found in the "Misc devices" section of the kernel configuration utility)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) to be compiled and installed (using its "camera=1" parameter).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) It can do at maximum 30 fps @ 320x240 or 15 fps @ 640x480.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) Grabbing is supported in packed YUV colorspace only.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) MJPEG hardware grabbing is supported via a private API (see below).

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) This driver supports the 'second' version of the MotionEye camera :)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) The first version was connected directly on the video bus of the Neomagic
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) video card and is unsupported.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) The second one, made by Kawasaki Steel is fully supported by this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) driver (PCI vendor/device is 0x136b/0xff01)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) The third one, present in recent (more or less last year) Picturebooks
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) (C1M* models), is not supported. The manufacturer has given the specs
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) to the developers under a NDA (which allows the development of a GPL
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) driver however), but things are not moving very fast (see
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) http://r-engine.sourceforge.net/) (PCI vendor/device is 0x10cf/0x2011).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) There is a forth model connected on the USB bus in TR1* Vaio laptops.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) This camera is not supported at all by the current driver, in fact
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) little information if any is available for this camera
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) (USB vendor/device is 0x054c/0x0107).

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) Several options can be passed to the meye driver using the standard
