Re: Lenny KDE newbie with Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac.

Hi Geert,

I just tried xawtv, but it quits at startup. I ran it from the
command-line and this is what I got:

$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/ppc64 (2.6.26-2-powerpc64)
xinerama 0: 1280x1024+0+0

v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

I have absolutely no idea what that means . I hope you have an idea :-)

Cheers,

Brian

It is just to ensure the video works... then it depends what you want to do 
with your cam : just the pick the app that does it. Unfortunately, I don't 
think it will be a native KDE one. Fortunately, installing the required gnome 
packages will take much less space than the installing the proprietary driver 
for the cam with a proprietary system

Okay, here is the output that I received. It seems like camstream
froze. Using Cheese with Ubuntu 8.04 and accessing the webcam freezes
the entire system. Here is the output from camstream on Debian Lenny:

Not that I know of but if you want to check if video works try out the
following apps:

 1. camstream
 2. qcam (this one is quite old, not sure if it will work)

Is there a KDE alternative to Cheese? I want to avoid installing 36
GNOME packages on my system. Kopette can be used with Gtalk, but Gtalk
video isn't supported on PPC.

Re: Lenny KDE newbie with Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac.

[Brian Durant]

I contacted Logitech's QuickCam team about the issue. Here is the
reply I received:

"Setting up the Linux UVC driver (uvcvideo) is enough. Just make sure
it can be loaded automatically or try to load it manually. You can
also keep an eye on your syslog to see if it gets recognized."

Any idea how to do any of what is suggested? I am a newbie.

Hi José,

There is a /dev/video0 file.

Watch if a /dev/video* file exists. If not, stop there, as it means no driver 
is managing it. Then kopete, ekiga, cheese may be usefull.
