It is invalid because there is no bug. It works as it has to at the  
moment. If you are looking for a gui or something for the firmware  
extraction, you should make a feature request for the ift maintainer.

iSight on MacBook 4,1 does not work

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel
Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support.

Status in Mactel Support: Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic

Hardware:

~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
MacBook4,1

Linux: Ubuntu 8.10 RC

The built-in iSight Webcam does not work. I have tested it with "Ekiga", Version 2.0.12.

I also tried to make it work according to the MacBook Ubuntu community documentation:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook

I tried:

sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo cp /mnt/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/* /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)

And in /etc/default/acpi-support:
MODULES="isight_usb"

The kernel seems to be loading the driver:

~$ lsmod | grep sight
isight_firmware        11008  0 
usbcore               148848  10 btusb,appletouch,appleir,isight_firmware,usb_storage,usbhid,libusual,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

But still no webcam in ekiga.
