It presumes Debian, requires building a few kernel modules for v4l and the UVC webcam driver. (the QuickCam5000 uses UVC) However, it refers to kernel 2.6.24, while 2.6.28 offers UVC and SPCA webcam support in-tree, may find the relevant modules already built and installable somewhere. It also notes that the device node wasn't created automatically, needing: mkdir -p /dev/v4l mknod /dev/v4l/video0 c 81 0 j _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
