Hi, I have a Frontech e-cam Model JIL 2215, which has the same vendor/product ID (0x0ac8/0x0302) as the Z-star Vimicro zc0302, that is supported by the spca5xx driver. I am running Redhat 9 Linux kernel v. 2.4.20-8. Following instructions, I downloaded the CVS version of spca5xx-2006501 driver , which compiles smoothly.
When I plug in the cam, no driver claims it, as shown in dmesg: sb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xbf20, IRQ 5 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver usb.c: registered new driver hiddev usb.c: registered new driver hid hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.3-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xac8/0x301b) is not claimed by any active driver. And so I do a modprobe to load the driver modprobe -v spca50x /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8villagenet/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-8villagenet/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.o Symbol version prefix '' /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8villagenet/kernel/drivers/usb/spca50x.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-8villagenet/kernel/drivers/usb/spca50x.o which loads the module, as shown in lsmod: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted spca50x 149536 0 (unused) videodev 7552 0 [spca50x] ide-cd 32508 0 (autoclean) cdrom 30272 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] parport_pc 17028 1 (autoclean) lp 8324 0 (autoclean) parport 33120 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] autofs 11860 0 (autoclean) (unused) bcm5700 118884 1 keybdev 2688 0 (unused) mousedev 5044 1 hid 20100 0 (unused) input 5472 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] usb-uhci 23692 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17480 0 (unused) usbcore 71168 1 [spca50x hid usb-uhci ehci-hcd] ext3 61792 2 jbd 46612 2 [ext3] Also, I do have a /dev/video0 file that was automatically created: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /dev/video0 crw------- 1 root root 81, 0 Jan 30 2003 /dev/video0 However, when I run sview or spcagui, I get the error, device /dev/video0, no such device..

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am also including the output of lsusb -v below Thanks and regards, Sharad. lsusb - v <snip> Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0ac8:301b Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x0ac8 idProduct 0x301b bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 Vimicro Corp. iProduct 2 PC Camera iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 193 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0xa0 Remote Wakeup MaxPower 160mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 1 Transfer Type Isochronous Synch Type none wMaxPacketSize 0 bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type none wMaxPacketSize 8 bInterval 10 Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 1 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 1 Transfer Type Isochronous Synch Type none wMaxPacketSize 128 bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type none wMaxPacketSize 8 bInterval 10 Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 2 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 1 Transfer Type Isochronous Synch Type none wMaxPacketSize 192 bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# more /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=05 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=bf20 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)
