Intel Webcam Driver

Open undeadindustries opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Dell latitude laptops use Intel integrated web cams.

However, there are no linux drivers/modules for them.

You can find in many forums that Linux is abandoned on these laptops because of this.

Fixing this issue would open up Clear Linux to so many laptops. Latitudes are among the #1 selling laptops in the world. Dell uses all Intel chips. Seems financially in Intels favor to fix this issue for the world?

PCI ID 8086:9a19

There is some data here, but it is already a bit dated. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Dell/XPS/XPS-13-7390-2-in-1#Camera https://github.com/endeavour/DellXps7390-2in1-Manjaro-Linux-Fixes/issues/6

I think there even existed a Linux driver for an old kernel version. Unfortunately, Intel abandoned the driver completely, and it is no longer possible to use in recent kernel versions.
