Opensue 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.7 2.6.27.8
In modules.usbmap is no entry for my webcam 046d.09a1
Logitech Quickcam Communicate MP/S5500
The correct driver uvcvideo is loaded
but no /dev/video0 is registered
Nearly all the uvcvideo webcams are missing in modules.usbmap
Can the kernel be patched for this shortcoming???
For this i filed a bugreport number 464309
Now on kernel 2.6.27.10.3-1
same error as al the 2.6.27 kernel from suse
The Ubuntu kernels are patched so it seems cause the uvc webcams
have /dev/video see Ubuntu forums
Update ! ! ! !
start mplayer from cli with tv:// -tv fps=30
you see that it uses /dev/video0
Kdetv the same
Further are working Luvcview and Vlc
Xawtv seem to work according info from Ubunto (have to google it)
Luvcview and Vlc can make a snapshot from the video stream
Amsn sees the webcam
