Hi,
I'm trying to get the following webcam to work, but it doesn't work in
mplayer and cheese only produces vertical coloured strips.
dmesg gives this
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
gspca: probing 17a1:0128
gspca: probe ok
usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=17a1, idProduct=0128
usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=32, Product=38, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-1: Product: USB2.0 WebCam
usb 3-1: Manufacturer: TASCORP
Looking at lsmod, modules are loaded
gspca_t613 11904 0
gspca_main 21504 1 gspca_t613
videodev 32000 1 gspca_main
v4l1_compat 15876 1 videodev
Running Mplayer gived me the following errors
$ mplayer -fps 30 -tv

And the following appeared in my dmesg output
gspca: usb_submit_urb [0] err -28

Any ideas, I'd be grateful to receive them,
Best regards
