Description maverickperfect 2012-09-30 18:38:13 UTC 
The Genius Eye 310 webcam is not recognized by kernel

Previously reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1046608
dmesg message:
[121.851412] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using uhci_hcd

lsusb message:
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0c45:6027 Microdia

-- What I expected to happen
A device on /dev/video0, accessible for applications using webcam

--What happened
/dev/video0 does not exist, gspca (2.14) does not seem to know how to operate the device, and ignores it.

Compiling the gspca driver in version 2.15.18 does not recognize it, but the camera "works" with the driver partially sonixb (sonix RGB) (which does not belong)
The camera SHOULD work with the driver compiled sonixj (sonix jpeg), but does not really work: 
1. adding the line in sonixj.c and compiling:
	{USB_DEVICE(0x0c45, 0x6027), BS(SN9C105, OV7660)},/* Genius Eye 310 */

2. the driver recognizes all without problems ...
dmesg:
[14095.652262] usb 1-3.2: new full-speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd
[14095.767862] gspca_main: v2.15.18 registered

... but no device in /dev/video*
