Creative Labs (and other webcam vendors) are known to sell different products under the same name, or sometimes sell the same product under different names. > I.e. a different ID and this ID is not shown to work under Ubuntu Linux. > And it's true - I can't get any webcam apps to work. Any advice? A description of your problem would help. Make sure to include a complete description of what you do, what you would have expected to happen and what happened instead. Copy the complete and exact error messages printed by applications, as well as the messages printed by the driver to the kernel log (the kernel log can be read using the dmesg command). If possible use luvcview for testing, which is the most widely used UVC webcam test application. This would help concentrating on lower-level problems (kernel driver, udev, ...) first, then we'll tackle problems related to specific applications. > I would have sent you the entire verbose lsusb listing but your 40k limit > prevents this. The lsusb output would have been under the 40kB limit if your mail had been plain text only :-) Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
