[edit] User Report (5th July, 2008)

Using the m5602 branch of https://sourceforge.net/projects/m560x-driver/ driver works to some extent:

  • Picture is not correct, fuzzy and unsynchronized.
  • Display of picture is slow.
  • Lighting/coloring can be better.
  • xawtv works, cheese does not.

[edit] Other User Report (13th March, 2009)

yeah right, on july it worked for me too. well when I say "worked" I should say It was doing something. I use to have a nice green screen, and if I switched all lights off, I had a moving green screen. but since july, it doesn't work anymore (the green screen is now completely frozen, so is SVN tree since months now...)

so my advice is : if somebody tries to sell you a laptop with that piece of s., slap his face, break the laptop and RUN AWAY

ALI CORP == THIEVES!!!!!

[edit] How to check if this is your card

Also known as 'BisonCam'. 

# lsusb |grep 0402:5602
Bus 002 Device 025: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller

For more general information on how to check what webcam you have, see Category:Webcams

[edit] Notes

  1. On the Clevo D901C (and maybe others) you need to turn on the webcam with Fn-F10.
  2. Can be used from within a Windows guest on VMware Workstation for Linux 6 (you need v6 for the USB 2.0 support).
  3. There might be additional information on the ALi Corp M5603C page.
