WillRivendell,

Build yourself a new kernel. Include Video For Linux and the module for your camera. If alls well, you will have a device called /dev/v4l/video0, which is your camera.

You will need USB working too but I assume you have that already.

... and the kernel module for the camera?
Is that loaded. The device file will not appear until it is.

After you download it, just do...

I have a normal Video Camera and a video capture card. ATI All in Wonder 7500.

I also have a Logitech Quick Clic 330. With these things, how can I get webcam working? I think the video camera would be a better bet.
