Independent developer Sahan Nissanka discovered that the OVTI5678 sensor is actually an OV5675 variant, for which a Linux driver already exists. Three kernel patches are proposed: board data for the TPS68470 PMIC, adding the OVTI5678 ID to the ov5675 driver, and an ipu-bridge entry. A known caveat is that the sensor uses a 4x4 RGB-IR color filter array, meaning color output will be imperfect until V4L2 gains RGB-IR media bus code support. The rear-facing camera remains unsupported pending GPIO assignment resolution. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The Dell Latitude 7320's front camera (OVTI5678) had no Linux driver claiming its ACPI ID for years. The fix involves three kernel patches: TPS68470 PMIC board data so sensors are enumerated, adding the OVTI5678 ID to the existing ov5675 driver (the chip reports ID 0x005675), and an ipu-bridge entry. Color output will be imperfect because the sensor uses a 4x4 RGB-IR filter array not yet described in the V4L2 ABI. _Developers tracking Linux hardware compatibility patches like these follow the discussion on daily.dev._ ### What is the Intel IPU6 webcam issue on Linux and has it been resolved? Intel IPU6 support on Linux was problematic enough that kernel maintainer Greg KH recommended avoiding IPU6 laptops in 2022. The core IPU6 stack has since been resolved, but individual sensors like the OVTI5678 in the Dell Latitude 7320 required additional per-device patches. The Latitude 7320 fix reuses the ov5675 driver after discovering the sensor reports chip ID 0x005675 and shares compatible CSI-2 and clock parameters. _Engineers navigating Linux laptop hardware support gaps find relevant kernel patch discussions on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Experimental Linux support for the Fairphone 6 wide camera · nondescriptpointer](https://daily.dev/posts/experimental-linux-support-for-the-fairphone-6-wide-camera-nondescriptpointer-qzadpwiln) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel Preparing Linux For IPU8 Web Camera Support With Nova Lake Laptops](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-preparing-linux-for-ipu8-web-camera-support-with-nova-lake-laptops-nkv0mtg5s) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [New Media Drivers Merged For Linux 7.1](https://daily.dev/posts/new-media-drivers-merged-for-linux-7-1-x02q7tvwc) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD ISP4 Driver On Track To Be Merged For Linux 7.2](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-isp4-driver-on-track-to-be-merged-for-linux-7-2-lupnma1ka) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Fu: Fake Webcams Have Many Uses](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-fu-fake-webcams-have-many-uses-bbsynkgs3) · Hackaday · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/dell-latitude-7320-2-in-1-seeing-web-camera-support-on-linux-after-five-years-tgfdlpr7x) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Dell Latitude 7320 2-in-1 Seeing Web Camera Support On Linux After Five Years","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/dell-latitude-7320-2-in-1-seeing-web-camera-support-on-linux-after-five-years-tgfdlpr7x","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/dell-latitude-7320-2-in-1-seeing-web-camera-support-on-linux-after-five-years-tgfdlpr7x"},"datePublished":"2026-08-09T10:40:00.501Z","dateModified":"2026-08-09T10:40:33.302Z","description":"After five years without Linux webcam support, the Dell Latitude 7320 2-in-1 is finally getting its front-facing 5MP camera working on Linux.
