I just emergerd the "camstream" package for frame capture with my logitek quickcam. The driver is loaded and the application runs as root I have opened up permissions to camstream as below:
# ls -l /usr/bin/camstream -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 369236 May 27 14:12 /usr/bin/camstream But, although I can start the program as user, it doesn't find the camera. I suppose I need to give user permission to the device but darned if I can find the device name. below is pertinant lines from dmesg: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 usb.c: registered new driver quickcam USB Quickcam Class ff SubClass ff idVendor 46d idProduct 840 USB Quickcam camera found using: $Id: quickcam.c,v 1.111 2003/01/27 09:41:03 tuukkat Exp $ quickcam: probe of HDCS1000 sensor = 08 00 id: 08 quickcam: HDCS1000 sensor detected I did find this: ls -l /dev/v4l/video0 crwxrwx--- 1 root video 81, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/v4l/video0 (user is in group "video") I must have overlooked something... -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
