Hello, I have a cpia compatible webcam connected to my parallel port and I have downloaded webcam from stable.
Problem is, it does not work, and I don't know where to even begin
sorting it out.
Running the webcam program results in the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo webcam
video4linux webcam v1.1 - (c) 1998,99 Gerd Knorr
grabber config: size 320x240, jpeg quality 75
ftp config:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:public_html/images
uploading.jpeg => webcam.jpeg
ioctl VIDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument
I had to modprobe cpia directly to get this far.
sudo lsmod

Anyone have any ideas? I have no idea what bttv or i2c is.
Finally, here is the output of dmesg
