Bug Description

Binary package hint: camorama

When using the Ricoh R5U870 (Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2), Camorama fails to display a proper image. Though there is talk of a patch here

http://lsb.blogdns.net/ry5u870/

I cannot locate the patch within camorama's svn repo.

I'm marking this as a dupe from bug #219252

The reasons for this are:

1.- Lack of response to the last question
2.- What's the point to debug an issue that happens when using a module that is not currently in Ubuntu?

So i believe the best path is to put the module R5U870 in Ubuntu, by means of this driver or the userland tools and when done, let's check this issue alltogether.

The other way is to mark this as invalid.

don't hesitate in change this if you feel is not the right thing to do. :)
