wrong palette/depth could not initialize the video system

2007-01-05T23:37:48Z

thank you so much for providing this for the Qx3 ....

I have been searching the net for a few years for this ....!!!

I am finally able to compile the module ... after searching for solutions ... i am able to view under the microscope via GnomeMeeting and using the "echo "toplight:on">>/proc/cpia/video?" and everything works fine but when I try an use my newly compiled module it says:
wrong palette/depth
could not initialize the video system
any information would be appreciated ...
Thank you so much,

using /dev/video0 and /proc/cpia/video0 and have verified that these files do exist ... ???

i have a gentoo system. i'm trying to compile this to
use my device, but i get the following error message:

any suggestions would be most welcome.

Opens the wrong cpia proc file

2002-12-04T06:11:12Z

QtX3 insists on command line arguments for the video
device and the cpia proc file, but then it proceeds to
ignore the proc file and always opens /proc/cpia/video2
instead (which on my system doesn't exist, so
attempting to turn on the lights does nothing).

With the attached patch, it gives a very nice image
from the qx3 -- much nicer than the other camera
program I'd previously been using.

Oh, one other thing I had to do: the .pro file doesn't
mention Qx3Model.cc, so if you regenerate the Makefile
by running qmake, that file gets left out and the
project doesn't build. I'll include that patch too.
