 |
|
Hello, I bought a cheap little webcam today, it does not have brand on the box(it saids "PC CAMERA" with specs), when I connect the webcam(usb) to the box,
dmesg saids
| Code: |
usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
|
and that's it.
I think it is because of the driver, and the windows driver installation cd saids
| Code: |
WEB CAMERA for 9C101
|
so, I tried spca5xx drivers from portage,(masked one too) and 9C101 driver from the kernel (2.6.15-gentoo-r5)
but anything i do, what it saids is just
| Code: |
usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
|
any ideas?

As you can check on http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html webcam with such vendor id (0c45) and product id (6007) is not listed among supported, so there is pretty good chance that it's not supported, unfortunatelly ... |

I've got a very similar device, and it's listed in the compatibility chart for this driver:
| Code: |
Oberon ~ # lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia
...
|
the gspcav1 driver is installed (according the linked topic above this is the latest version with some naming confusion).
| Code: |
Oberon ~ # emerge -s spca
...
* media-video/gspcav1
Latest version available: 20070110
Latest version installed: 20070110
Size of files: 155 kB
Homepage: http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
Description: gspcav1 driver for webcams.
License: GPL-2
...
|
So all seems to be configured as it should, except it doesn't work. Kopete lists nothing in the devices settings. Am I supposed to have something listed under /dev/video[N]? I've not tried to configure video hardware before so any help would be appreciated.
cheers!

pajamabama,
Not sure if you ever got it working. Considering its now about a half a year later. But try the linux-uvc driver
I haven't actually gotten it to work yet. But at least the /dev/video0 shows up. |

linux-uvc driver is the one 
Only problem with it is that it only support V4L2 and as far as I have found, the only app that supports that api is Ekiga. In Ekiga it works great, but I don't know anyone else using a service that's compatible with it. I've found nothing for doing snapshots or other chat services. I'm actually working on building an app (in my spare-spare time) for taking snapshots via v4l2. so far I've got it to dump an image to a bmp, but the colors are very screwed up. It's a work in progess. 
Anyway, have fun!!
