Can someone tell me the exact steps to get this webcam working? http://gentoo-wiki.com/ seems to be down at this time.

orangecakez,

1. Add USB 1.1 support for your USB root hubs to your kernel.

2. Under Multimedia Support in the kernel add
Code:
  │ │    <*> Video For Linux                                  │ │ 
  │ │    [*]   Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)      │ │ 
  │ │    ---   Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer  │ │ 
  │ │    [*]   Video capture adapters  ---> 

In the Video capture adapters ---> menu go to V4L USB devices --->
and choose
Code:
<*>   USB Philips Cameras

Modules or built in works. Rebuild, install and boot into your new kernel.

Provided that Logitech still use Phillips hardware, this will get you /dev/v4l/video0, which will be your cam.

If you need more detail, I need your lspci, to tell you about your USB and lsusb to check on the right module for your cam.

My Logitech QuickCam isn't being recognized by software apps like skype and Cheese. I wasn't sure it was being recognized until I ran a lsusb. I updated my kernel as noted in this thread, but no luck.


Linux Kernel gentoo 3.0.6

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:08c5 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 5000
