Hello, Alessandros way worked for me: 1. Download and unpack http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.0.tar.gz 2. See README, and install: sudo make install 3. Open terminal window 4. $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so 5. $ camstream (see http://play.datalude.com/blog/?p=117)
yes it is a different problem from that one here, just want to tell other people coming from google. I have a /dev/video0 but my cam was not working with a bunch of programms until I installed v4l from the link above. uname -a: Linux laptop 2.6.27.2 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 22:11:44 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux lsusb | grep Cam: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0ac8:301b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.
