The GPL driver lacks featuresThe GPL driver lacks featuresPosted Aug 27, 2004 17:52 UTC (Fri) by erich (subscriber, #7127)In reply to: Linux loses the Phillipswebcam driver by Duncan Parent article: Linux loses the Philips webcam driver
The GPL part of the driver lacks features. I have borrowed such a webcam for toying around with effectv. I can't run the full resolution without the closed-source part of the driver - the USB1 bandwith isn't sufficient apparently, so these resulutions require (proprietary) compression.
Of course would having a feature-limited driver still be better than not having a driver at all. But i'm unhappy with this development.
