hi all
i really appreciate your help here
in order to motivate you a bit more on patching your Gem sources (for the pix_texture thing...), here is another one, which hopefully might do what you want with the pwc. just apply the patch, and copy the pwc-ioctl.h into Pixes (if it is not already in some standard path), compile and see whether it works...
(i haven't tried as i don't have a pwc here (i think))
hey, thanks a lot for your efforts. it seems, that this patch seems to restore the settings.
unfortunately it introduced a new problem. every two seconds i get a black frame. right now, i don't have an idea, what could be the cause of that. though, it's not quite sure, if it's gems problem at all. since gem is the only application i have, that can restore the settings and display the image at the same time, i cannot test with another program, how the stored settings would look like there. yo, i think i do some tests with all possible settings. but just to make sure: gem doesn't do anything with a period of 2 sec, does it?
good knews. i solved the problem in a more general way. matju found the line in the pwc driver code, that does initialize the agc settings (whenever the cam is accessed, it sets it to 'auto').
removing this line in the driver prevents it from resetting the agc value everytime. that means, now when i use setpwc, the values are still used, when accessing the cam with [pix_video] -> i can manually set the gain control.
though i don't need the patch for videoV4L.cpp anymore, thank you a lot for your help and your patience.
