(sorry about the last message; i forgot to disable rich text formatting)
I'm relatively new to Linux; still exploring to see what can be done with it. I had been successful in setting up a firewall plus web server, but cannot get a usb webcam to work under the box, even after three days of researching. I have read that it can be tricky at times; though I must admit that I did not expect it to be this difficult. My (9-year-old, according to the warranty stickers) box: Pentium MMX 200MHz 32 MB of SDRAM SiS Chipset S3 ViRGE VGA Card Debian: Linux azure 2.4.27-2-586tsc #1 Wed Nov 30 21:29:45 JST 2005 i586 GNU/Linux Webcam: D-Link DSB-c310 lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05a9:8519 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. dmesg (only relevant ones): usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xc2879000, IRQ 12 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:01.2, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller usb.c : new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5a9/0x8519) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: registered new driver audio usbaudio: device 2 audiocontrol interface 1 has 1 input and 0 output AudioStreaming interfaces usbaudio: device 2 interface 2 altsetting 1 channels 1 framesize 2 configured usbaudio: valid input sample rate 16000 usbaudio: device 2 interface 2 altsetting 1: format 0x00000010 sratelo 16000 sratehi 16000 attributes 0x00 usbaudio: registered dsp 14,3 usbaudio: constructing mixer for Terminal 2 type 0x0101 usbaudio: no mixer controls found for Terminal 2 usb_audio_parsecontrol: usb_audio_state at c128b520 lsmod (only relevant ones): audio 40888 0 (unused) soundcore 3620 1 [audio] usb-ohci 18472 0 (unused) usbcore 57708 1 [audio usb-ohci] Debian seemed to be misunderstanding something. My webcam definitely is not a speaker. It does, however, have a built-in mic, though I never managed to get that to work, even under Windows. From what I read on forums and mailing lists, the OS is supposed to detect and identify it as a video device. It does not even attempt to load ov511 in my case. I tested the webcam under Windows. It is not broken. The green light is on when it is plugged into the Linux box. The USB interface, though aged and rusty, is not broken either. I tested it with a mouse and it worked flawlessly. I am lost. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
