I am trying to use my webcam with aMSN :frowning:
Program doesn’t detect webcam (Logitech QickCam) however I have installed drivers :
gspcav1-kmp-default
uvcvideo-kmp-default
quickcam-kmp-default
with pae , debug , etc
But nothing changed . In Yast I see “Logitech Inclassified Device” and

There is no /dev/video0 .

What me to do ?

#2

have you tried with another program ? e.g. kopete,cheese ?

No , because I want to make chat( audio+video) on a windows-machine. So I had to use aMSN (Kmess do not support video)

#4

in a terminal what does “lsmod” tell you?

#5

I hope not all at once. That would practically guarantee non-functionality. Ensure you only install ONE driver at a time.

Also note many Logitech QuickCam webcam models are not supported by Linux:
Linux incompatibility list - Webcams

There were installed at once . I uninstalled all drivers but gspca and nothing happened . Then I uninstalled gspca .
And the progress of my problem is that /dev/video0 apperared ( before uninstalling it wasn’t )
//Now aMSN detects my webcam but doesn’t capture picture .
rotfl!
When I was writing it it started work !!!
But the picture is to dark. The channel is ZC301-2. Is this OK? I think it should be usb.
And a light-bulb is not green as it was in vista.

I think that installing v4l2 helped me because luvcview which I used for checking webcam state refused to work because of v4l2.

The picture became light !

#9

Yesterday I needed camera again. I installed gspca and /dev/videox appeared. But now I need to use webcam with kopete. When I try to configure it (in program configurations), kopete doesn’t detect camera.:frowning:
