Syntek Webcam & Linux (05e1:0501)
luty 2nd, 2007 . by vipWith help of my friend, yoB, I’ve got working ASUS F2J webcam (Syntek STK-1135 probably).
You’d only want to checkout the syntekdriver.sf.net SVN with:
svn co https://syntekdriver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/syntekdriver syntekdriver
go to the trunk/driver and apply patch.
After kernel module compilation and modprobing videodev & stk11xx You shoud get a new entry at /dev/video0.
Now you’ve only to run your favourite cam app to see yourself :-)
UPDATE
There is NO NEED to apply the patch, because it is already in Syntek SVN.
UPDATE; 08 feb 2007
To get rid of the blue, apply “Color correction” filter in camorama or set a “RGB->BGR Conversion” in gqcam’s preferences.

Hi !
How do you apply the patch ? It applies on two different files or ??
Could you detail the method ?
Thanks

It is simple, after svn checkout do:
cd syntekdriver/trunk/driverpatch << /tmp/syntek.patch
It should patch two files, the output looks like:
patching file stk11xx.h
patching file stk11xx-usb.c

It didn’t work for me. I get this when trying to patch:
patching file stk11xx.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 57 with fuzz 2 (offset 11 lines).
patching file stk11xx-usb.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 59.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 593.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED — saving rejects to file stk11xx-usb.c.rej

As You can see, the patch is now in SVN, so there is no need to patch the SVN again. The patch is outdated.

Hi, I receive a lot of errors, can you explain whats missing ?

Maybe its lack of some devel files related to usb libs
marzec 13th, 2007 at 19:57
None.
I need to go /usr/src/linux and
sudo make oldconfig
sudo make prepare
remove dash (sh->dash) in my system, but now :
$make

Any idea ?

I don’t use building within original kernel sources; I’d prefer local build with Build module script for kernels 2.6 by Przemyslaw Iskra (http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/SOURCES/rpm.macros).
The commands executed by the script can be like:
http://coffee3.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/stk11xx.sh
The original kernel source tree must be clean.

Hei, my system is Ubuntu and I prepare kernel :
cd /usr/src/linux
sudo make oldconfig
sudo make prepare
sudo make-kpkg clean
sudo fakeroot make-kpkg - -initrd - -append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers (only to build binary in /usr/src/linux/scripts/mod)
But ‘make install’ fail and exists warning some messages in compilation process :
fulano@fulano-notebook:~/syntekdriver/trunk/driver$ make driver
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/home/fulano/syntekdriver/trunk/driver modules

Under Fedora Core 6 when I try to compile I have this message:
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS= modules
make: *** /usr/src/linux: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type. Arrêt.
make: *** [driver] Erreur 2
Do you what is the problem?
Thank you very much
marzec 24th, 2007 at 13:53
hamacker: your system is probably lacking of kernel-headers package
BTW: when pasting errors, type LANG=C before the `make` command, it will give english messages/errors

Hi,
I have a problem after compiling the kernel module :
I have make svn co https://syntekdriver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/syntekdriver syntekdriver,
then i went with terminal in the driver folder, and maked : (…)/driver$ sudo make, the driver compiled.
Then, /driver$ sudo make install, and i get “make: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « install ». Arrêt.” in english, “no rules to build the target “install”. Stopped.”
Jeżeli miałeż jakis swiatłó na ten problem aby pomagać jeden francuz który mieszka w Polsce, to byłoby fajnie..
Dzięki

Hello Louis,
I don’t know how Makefile looks, but You can just find the “stk11xx.ko” file, and put it (as root) to the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/video directory (it can be ‘misc’ or sth else instead of video).
Then, do “depmod -a” as root, and run: “modprobe stk11xx”.
Souhaite bon courage!
