 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to use Windows XP in VMware (Gentoo host OS) to use my webcam for Skype video. I have a Creative Webcam Live! that VMware sees when I plug it in. Gentoo shows this when I plug the USB webcam in (dmesg output):
| Code: |
usb 1-3.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 1-3.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-3.3: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usbfs while 'vmware-vmx' sets config #1
|
I then run the Creative Webcam Center to test the webcam and all I see is a black screen where the video should appear. The same thing happens trying to use Skype for video. Gentoo shows this when I run a such a program in VMware:
| Code: |
/dev/vmmon[8866]: host clock rate change request 83 -> 1043
usb 1-3.3: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -38
usb 1-3.3: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -38
usb 1-3.3: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -38
usb 1-3.3: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -38
|
With the usb_submit_urb line repeating multiple times a second until I stop the program that is trying to use the webcam in VMware. I am using the latest stable software on amd64 and VMware 5.5.3. I have had the same problem before on a Pentium-M laptop using VMware 5.5.1 and never figured it out. If someone can please help me fix this so that I can throw away my windows install I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!  |
