Hello everybody,

I got some problems with the uvcdynctrl for controlling the focus of a Logitech Pro9000. My distri is Kubuntu/Hardy.

I am using the latest source code of the Libwebcam and I hope I have it installed right.
But if tried to use the uvcdynctrl for controlling the focus of my cam I ever got the Message

Code:
Sebastian@Master:~/Desktop/linux-uvc2/trunk$ uvcdynctrl -l
[libwebcam] Unsupported V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO control with a non-contiguous
  range of choice IDs found
[libwebcam] Invalid or unsupported V4L2 control encountered: ctrl_id = 134217738, name = 'Exposure, Auto'
Listing available devices:
  video0   USB 2.0 Camera
  video1   UVC Camera (046d:0990)


and I don't know what I have done wrong.

Generally I got also a lot of trouble installing the Libwebcam and especially the uvc driver. I ever got the Message

Code:
WARNING: could not open /home/sebastian/Desktop/linux-uvc2/trunk/version.h: Invalid argument
  LD [M]  /home/sebastian/Desktop/linux-uvc2/trunk/uvcvideo.ko
make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-17-generic'


What can I do?

vielen Dank & Gruß :-)
Sebastian
