hello,

i am testing an e-cam50 (e-con system camera) on a gumstix overo firestorm
running angstrom.
i compiled my own kernel and have DSP and gstreamer working as i can
stream videotestsrc on my workstation.

when i try to use the video device i get

root at overo:~# ./test_cam_stream_640.sh
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Device
'/dev/video0' is not a capture device.
Additional debug info:
v4l2_calls.c(515): gst_v4l2_open ():
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
Capabilities: 0x4000002
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...
root at overo:~#

here my permissions:

root at overo:~# ls -ahl /dev/video0
crwxrwx--x 1 root video 81, 0 Jan  1 00:00 /dev/video0

unfortunately the camera doesn't have any LED to tell you she is alive and
i am currently running out of ideas. anyone has an hint?

thanks a lot in advance,
best,
xname
