I have an Asus 100TA laptop which came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed.
I decided to install Linux Mint on the laptop because the Windows was very buggy.
I installed Linux Mint 19.3 on the laptop.
Everything except for the webcam, Wi-Fi and speakers worked fine!
After some tinkering I managed to get the Wi-Fi and the speakers to work. But not the webcam!
The webcam is Aptina MT9M114.
I have tried to install the driver from here: https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/tree/master/mt9m114-driver, but the webcam is still not working:
- I run make command and it was succesfull and I got a mt9m114.ko file.
- I run sudo make install and the mt9m114.ko file was installed in the kernel directory.
- I run sudo modprobe mt9m114 and the module was succesfully added to the kernel.
After adding the module to the kernel I excepted to have a device file in /dev called video0, but it has not been created!
When I run dmesg it shown me this.
...

[ 400.299425] mt9m114 3-0048: chip found @ 0x90 (Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter)
Please help me. I don't know what is the problem, and I want to make the camera working!
Thank you.
