I have written this as a round up on my search for a Linux driver for the built-in webcam in my Asus A3N series notebook. The built-in webcam in my book is built on a micro chip from Ali and it is named m5603c, more in general the chip is sometimes refered to as m560x. I found that this m560x chip is used in a lot of different devices and even other notebooks like the Asus A6 series.

Right now – it seems that there are a few projects focusing on creating a driver for m560x chip, currently I have noticed these ones.

• SANE m5603c backend
• Ali M560x Linux Driver Project
• ALi USB2 M5603C Video Camera Controller – Seems stalled

Until now I have assembled this list of devices that are build upon the m560x chip.

• Asus Z9100G notebook series
• Sweex webcam
• Asus A6 notebook series
• Q-TEC Webcam 300 USB 2.0
• Trust SpaceC@m 360
• Creative Live Pro
• USB 2.0 Webcam 1.3 Megapixel
• Genius VideoCam Slim USB2

It seems that the ALi M5603C chip is more common than I first thought. Today I found out that it’s not only the BisonCam, but also these products that are also built on the ALi M5603C chip

• Q-TEC Webcam 300 USB 2.0
• Trust SpaceC@m 360
• Creative Live Pro
• USB 2.0 Webcam 1.3 Megapixel
• Genius VideoCam Slim USB2

Until now I only found this project developing a Linux driver for ALi USB2 M5603C Video Camera Controllers

I just mailed Asus in Sweden, because I couldn’t get the built-in BisonCam Webcam in my Asus A3N series working under Linux Fedora Core 3.

Hello,

I just bought an Asus A3N-series with a built-in webcam, but it does not run natively under Linux 2.6.10, Fedora Core 3.

What kind of chipset is the BisonCam built on?

Do you have any clues on how to get it to work in Linux?
