Hi, If you mean a logitech 5000, this page may helps you: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ I don't know the cam, but had no problem with old quickcams or spca5xx chipset based ones on gentoo. Just make sure you have V4L enables in your kernel config. cu Max On Fri, 2008-05-02 at 16:03 +0100, Gavin Seddon wrote: Hi Sorry about this. lsusb sees my logptech 5000 webcam.

Cam Voice on Linux, or at least knows if it's possible to use it. I'd like to be able to use it at least on Linux, since it doesn't have stable drivers for Win Vista and I'm not willing to install the beta version yet (too much data I can't afford to lose right now). Since I bought my new laptop, my cam is sitting in my desk drawer, and it was way too expensive to remain this way. Thanks! Naiani -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Sam Revich had a driver for the webcam on my HP dv9000t, which allowed me to get images. Something in the control data is different from the standard model however, so I can't really do anything with it without crashing the device, and I haven't been a good debugging partner. I'd be happy to use the thing but I don't have time to figure it out right now. I don't know if my device is the same as yours -- Sam has a listing of the USB device numbers on his blog, so you can see if his driver would work. If you have problems using it, he may be willing to work with you if you have time to help him with the data he needs for debugging.
