I have a really crappy webcam .. the name on the box is SurfCam . the model number may be PC160.
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 93a/7/100 I'm kind of muddling along trying to get it working, but I'm not really sure what, exactly, I need to do. I found what appears to be a driver for the camera at sourceforge, which I compiled OK. The README says to modprobe videodev insmod usbvideo.o insmod nw802.o which doesn't cause any errors and seems to work nw802 9800 0 (unused) usbvideo 22408 0 [nw802] videodev 4416 0 [usbvideo] This is where I get hazy .. I presume I need to get USB to load these drivers .. and I presumably do that by adding an entry to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap .. but what should I be putting in there? Secondly .. if I try to run v4l-conf in an xterm,it says can't open /dev/video0: No such device although the node does actually exist, so I assume this is because the camera's not powered up .. or it's not connected to the driver .. or something. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I'm a bit lost ;-) TIA! sjb ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
