Video Capturing Hardware driver Installation
- Download the appropriate device driver for Fedora 13:
- The file should be downloaded to the Downloads directory
- Unpack the file vga2usb-3.24.9.12-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64.tbz
[fsoss@fsoss2 ~]$ pwd /home/fsoss [fsoss@fsoss2 ~]$ mkdir vga2usb [fsoss@fsoss2 ~]$ cd vga2usb [fsoss@fsoss2 vga2usb]$ tar xvfj ../Downloads/vga2usb-3.24.9.12-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64.tbz ./ ./drvwrapper_lib.h ./drvwrapper.h ./Config.mak ./v2u_id.h ./.drvwrapper.o.cmd ./Module.symvers ./vga2usb_bins.o ./README ./drvwrapper_lib.c ./.drvwrapper_lib.o.cmd ./drvwrapper_lib.o ./vga2usb.ko ./Makefile ./.vga2usb.mod.o.cmd ./.vga2usb.o.cmd ./.vga2usb.ko.cmd ./drvwrapper.c ./vga2usb.mod.c ./.tmp_versions/ ./.tmp_versions/vga2usb.mod ./vga2usb.mod.o ./modules.order ./drvwrapper.o ./vga2usb.o

- configure vga2usb loadable module parameters:
- edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/vga2usb.conf (copy from freeseer's download)
- comment out the line "options vga2usb num_frame_buffers=2"
- add the line "options vga2usb v4l_num_buffers=2" (note: v4l_num_buffers is from drvwrapper_lib.h)
- edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/vga2usb.conf (copy from freeseer's download)
Troubleshooting
After installing the device driver for vga2usb, plug in the USB cable connected to the VGA2USB device and you should see the following message pop up in the system log file /var/log/messages:

Connect the vga connector on the VGA2USB device to an VGA output and run the freeseer application, you should see the following debugging messages:

Please note that freeseer can't find v4l2src and fall back to v4lsrc. Why was it failing to use v4l2src?
