-The main webpage for the Philips driver is at the address above. It contains
-a lot of extra information, a FAQ, and the binary plugin 'PWCX'. This plugin
-contains decompression routines that allow you to use higher image sizes and
-framerates; in addition the webcam uses less bandwidth on the USB bus (handy
-if you want to run more than 1 camera simultaneously). These routines fall
-under a NDA, and may therefor not be distributed as source; however, its use
-is completely optional.
-
-You can build this code either into your kernel, or as a module. I recommend
-the latter, since it makes troubleshooting a lot easier. The built-in
-microphone is supported through the USB Audio class.
-
-When you load the module you can set some default settings for the
-camera; some programs depend on a particular image-size or -format and
-don't know how to set it properly in the driver. The options are:
-
-size
-   Can be one of 'sqcif', 'qsif', 'qcif', 'sif', 'cif' or
-   'vga', for an image size of resp. 128x96, 160x120, 176x144,
-   320x240, 352x288 and 640x480 (of course, only for those cameras that 
-   support these resolutions).
-
-fps
-   Specifies the desired framerate. Is an integer in the range of 4-30.
-
-fbufs
-   This paramter specifies the number of internal buffers to use for storing 
-   frames from the cam. This will help if the process that reads images from 
-   the cam is a bit slow or momentarely busy. However, on slow machines it 
-   only introduces lag, so choose carefully. The default is 3, which is 
-   reasonable. You can set it between 2 and 5.
-
-mbufs
-   This is an integer between 1 and 10. It will tell the module the number of
-   buffers to reserve for mmap(), VIDIOCCGMBUF, VIDIOCMCAPTURE and friends.
-   The default is 2, which is adequate for most applications (double
-   buffering).
-      
-   Should you experience a lot of 'Dumping frame...' messages during
-   grabbing with a tool that uses mmap(), you might want to increase if. 
-   However, it doesn't really buffer images, it just gives you a bit more
-   slack when your program is behind. But you need a multi-threaded or
-   forked program to really take advantage of these buffers.
-
-   The absolute maximum is 10, but don't set it too high!  Every buffer takes
-   up 460 KB of RAM, so unless you have a lot of memory setting this to
-   something more than 4 is an absolute waste.  This memory is only
-   allocated during open(), so nothing is wasted when the camera is not in
-   use.
-
-power_save
-   When power_save is enabled (set to 1), the module will try to shut down
-   the cam on close() and re-activate on open(). This will save power and
-   turn off the LED. Not all cameras support this though (the 645 and 646
-   don't have power saving at all), and some models don't work either (they
-   will shut down, but never wake up). Consider this experimental. By
-   default this option is disabled.
-
-compression (only useful with the plugin)
-   With this option you can control the compression factor that the camera
-   uses to squeeze the image through the USB bus. You can set the 
-   parameter between 0 and 3:
-     0 = prefer uncompressed images; if the requested mode is not available
-         in an uncompressed format, the driver will silently switch to low
-         compression.
-     1 = low compression.
-     2 = medium compression.
-     3 = high compression.
-      
-   High compression takes less bandwidth of course, but it could also
-   introduce some unwanted artefacts. The default is 2, medium compression.
-   See the FAQ on the website for an overview of which modes require
-   compression.
-
-   The compression parameter does not apply to the 645 and 646 cameras
-   and OEM models derived from those (only a few). Most cams honour this
-   parameter.
-
-leds
-   This settings takes 2 integers, that define the on/off time for the LED
-   (in milliseconds). One of the interesting things that you can do with
-   this is let the LED blink while the camera is in use. This:
-
-     leds=500,500
-      
-   will blink the LED once every second. But with:
-
-     leds=0,0
-
-   the LED never goes on, making it suitable for silent surveillance.
-
-   By default the camera's LED is on solid while in use, and turned off
-   when the camera is not used anymore.
-
-   This parameter works only with the ToUCam range of cameras (720, 730, 740,
-   750) and OEMs. For other cameras this command is silently ignored, and 
-   the LED cannot be controlled.
-
-   Finally: this parameters does not take effect UNTIL the first time you
-   open the camera device. Until then, the LED remains on.
-
-dev_hint
-   A long standing problem with USB devices is their dynamic nature: you
-   never know what device a camera gets assigned; it depends on module load
-   order, the hub configuration, the order in which devices are plugged in,
-   and the phase of the moon (i.e. it can be random). With this option you
-   can give the driver a hint as to what video device node (/dev/videoX) it
-   should use with a specific camera. This is also handy if you have two
-   cameras of the same model.
-
-   A camera is specified by its type (the number from the camera model,
-   like PCA645, PCVC750VC, etc) and optionally the serial number (visible
-   in /proc/bus/usb/devices). A hint consists of a string with the following
-   format:
-
-      [type[.serialnumber]:]node
-      
-   The square brackets mean that both the type and the serialnumber are
-   optional, but a serialnumber cannot be specified without a type (which
-   would be rather pointless). The serialnumber is separated from the type
-   by a '.'; the node number by a ':'.
-   
-   This somewhat cryptic syntax is best explained by a few examples:
-
-     dev_hint=3,5              The first detected cam gets assigned
-                               /dev/video3, the second /dev/video5. Any
-                               other cameras will get the first free 
-                               available slot (see below).
-
-     dev_hint=645:1,680:2      The PCA645 camera will get /dev/video1,
-                               and a PCVC680 /dev/video2.
-                               
-     dev_hint=645.0123:3,645.4567:0     The PCA645 camera with serialnumber 
-                                        0123 goes to /dev/video3, the same
-                                        camera model with the 4567 serial
-                                        gets /dev/video0.
-
-     dev_hint=750:1,4,5,6       The PCVC750 camera will get /dev/video1, the 
-                                next 3 Philips cams will use /dev/video4 
-                                through /dev/video6.
-
-   Some points worth knowing:
-   - Serialnumbers are case sensitive and must be written full, including 
-     leading zeroes (it's treated as a string).
-   - If a device node is already occupied, registration will fail and 
-     the webcam is not available.
-   - You can have up to 64 video devices; be sure to make enough device
-     nodes in /dev if you want to spread the numbers (this does not apply
-     to devfs). After /dev/video9 comes /dev/video10 (not /dev/videoA).
-   - If a camera does not match any dev_hint, it will simply get assigned
-     the first available device node, just as it used to be.
-
-trace
-   In order to better detect problems, it is now possible to turn on a
-   'trace' of some of the calls the module makes; it logs all items in your
-   kernel log at debug level.
-
-   The trace variable is a bitmask; each bit represents a certain feature.
-   If you want to trace something, look up the bit value(s) in the table 
-   below, add the values together and supply that to the trace variable.
-
-   Value  Value   Description                                      Default
-   (dec)  (hex)
-       1    0x1   Module initialization; this will log messages       On
-                  while loading and unloading the module
-
-       2    0x2   probe() and disconnect() traces                     On
-
-       4    0x4   Trace open() and close() calls                      Off
-
-       8    0x8   read(), mmap() and associated ioctl() calls         Off
-
-      16   0x10   Memory allocation of buffers, etc.                  Off
-
-      32   0x20   Showing underflow, overflow and Dumping frame       On
-                  messages
-
-      64   0x40   Show viewport and image sizes                       Off
-
-     128   0x80   PWCX debugging                                      Off
-
-   For example, to trace the open() & read() fuctions, sum 8 + 4 = 12,
-   so you would supply trace=12 during insmod or modprobe. If
-   you want to turn the initialization and probing tracing off, set trace=0.
-   The default value for trace is 35 (0x23).
-
-
-
-Example:
-     
-     # modprobe pwc size=cif fps=15 power_save=1
-
-The fbufs, mbufs and trace parameters are global and apply to all connected
-cameras. Each camera has its own set of buffers.
-
-size and fps only specify defaults when you open() the device; this is to
-accommodate some tools that don't set the size. You can change these
-settings after open() with the Video4Linux ioctl() calls. The default of
-defaults is QCIF size at 10 fps.
-
-The compression parameter is semiglobal; it sets the initial compression
-preference for all camera's, but this parameter can be set per camera with
-the VIDIOCPWCSCQUAL ioctl() call.
-
-All parameters are optional.
