Logitech QuickCam Express Plus driver issue
Hey all, I'm trying to use my webcam for Skype, and my webcam won't work. A google search yielded only one driver for my particular model, spca5xx. I can't seem to be able to compile it from source, because I get stacks of errors when I run /make, make all, /or /make install/ in terminal. Can anyone compile it for me please? The source is located here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz. -- Regards, Boden Matthews Sent from my Linux Laptop -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

[...] Prying the control key off, I discovered some corrosion in there, and the isopropyl alcohol did the trick. Thanks Martin! If the machine was still under warranty could have claimed a new keyboard. I'm on my 3rd keyboard on my 2 year old Dell D830. Laptop keyboards usually last 12-18 months for me. It is surprising how much firmer a new keyboard feels after you swap it. You don't notice the slow degrading of the old one until you have a comparison.
