i've been trying to get quickcam express working under gentoo.
i got qce-ga-0.40d and when i try to run quickcam.sh, it gives:

Have you insmod'ed mod_quickcam? If you've compiled the USB and V4L stuff into the kernel, then just the insmod command should be enough to get the camera working. If you've compiled V4L and such as modules, then you should insmod mod_quickcam, then run quickcam.sh.

well it says in the readme, that if i've compiled usb and V4L into kernel, all i gotta do is run quickcam.sh
but as you see the errors from above.
is there any specific option i need to compile under kernel?
| Code: | bash-2.05b# insmod mod_quickcam
insmod: mod_quickcam: no module by that name found
bash-2.05b#

in addition here's what i've compiled under kernel:
V4L information in proc filesystem
Quickcam Colour Video for Linux (EXPERIMENTAL)
UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support
USB full HID support
HID input layer support
/dev/hiddev raw HID device support
USB Philips Cameras (i'm not sure whether i should do this or not, but somebody mentioned this should be enabled)

Well, if you're unable to insmod it yourself, then quickcam.sh won't be able to either. You probably didn't install the module correctly.
Is /usr/src/linux a symlink to the kernel you're running (and was this the case when you emerged qce-ga)? Check /lib/modules/kernelname/ to see if the mod_quickcam module is in there, because it should be.

yes /usr/src/linux points to the correct kernel.
but /lib/modules/kernelname/ does not contain mod_quickcam module.
how do you get that module?
i didn't install anything as modules in the kernel. just enabled them.

You emerged the qce-ga ebuild and it didn't put the module in /lib/modules/kernelname/?

ok i've emerged qce-ga
| Code: | bash-2.05b# insmod mod_quickcam
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-gaming-r3/misc/mod_quickcam.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gaming-r3/misc/mod_quickcam.o: unresolved symbol video_proc_entry
bash-2.05b#
|
but that looks to me still doesn't work.

Hmm... Perhaps you need V4L info in the /proc filesystem (this is one of the options) to use the module? Check the qce-ga website again and make doubly sure that you have all the other modules/options they require.

i have V4L under /proc fs and built it in instead of as module.
or should i make it as a module?

This is how I selected with menuconfig and works great.
| Code: | Multimedia devices ---> <M> Video For Linux
Multimedia devices ---> Video For Linux ---> [*] V4L information in proc filesystem |
I have also emerged gqcam in order to test the camera. Gnomemeeting works great too.
