hello all. I recently bought a Creative Webcam Plus from my japanese vendor. I checked the model and webpages, and saw that it is supported by the ov511 driver.
I recompiled a 2.4.3 kernel (I'm running RH7.1) with ov511-1.39 version. FIRST PROBLEM: after rebooting and loading the ov511 module, the installation instructions say \ "2.Make sure that USB is working: Check that /proc/bus/usb/devices exists and contains data" in my case, it actually does not exist. however, I can see that my camera is recognized and the driver loaded, as /dev/video and /dev/video0 exist (as well as video1, video2 and video3). also, dmesg commande shows that it found the USB camera (creative webcam 3) and successfully loaded the module. what to do with this ? SECOND PROBLEM: I can't have neither web3cam nor xawtv (webcam app) working. in the first case, when I'm compiling the app, it simply says that it "can't see /dev/video" and make exits. I checked and have chmod correctly to 666. in the second case, it does simply not take any picture. I'm trying to do as simple as possible (once = 1, configured for "local", not ftp, etc...) I don't know what to set for "source", it says "composite1", or "TV", but I don't know what this correspond to. I get 2 error messages: - the first gives a list of parameters all set to 0, as well as the depth, and says it's invalid. - the second says the source is not good (composite1...) I'm lost. I'd just like to get something working, or find the simplest v4l app to grag at least ONE picture !!.. if anyone can help, I'd be really pleased... thanks --Bastien This e-mail contains confidential information or information belonging to Credit Lyonnais and is intended solely for the addressees.
