2 * QuickCam Driver For Video4Linux.
4 * Video4Linux conversion work by Alan Cox.
5 * Parport compatibility by Phil Blundell.
6 * Busy loop avoidance by Mark Cooke.
12 * When polling the QuickCam for a response, busy-wait for a
13 * maximum of this many loops. The default of 250 gives little
14 * impact on interactive response.
16 * NOTE: If this parameter is set too high, the processor
17 * will busy wait until this loop times out, and then
18 * slowly poll for a further 5 seconds before failing
19 * the transaction. You have been warned.
21 * yieldlines=<1 - 250>
23 * When acquiring a frame from the camera, the data gathering
24 * loop will yield back to the scheduler after completing
25 * this many lines. The default of 4 provides a trade-off
26 * between increased frame acquisition time and impact on
27 * interactive response.
