I have nothing like /dev/videox
I have try installing drivers logitech and gscpa and they are in lib/…/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/updates but my kernel is 2.6.25.16-0.1-pae and don’t find in yast correct version … please :’(… HELP
From what I can see, your webcam is NOT supported by the nominal gspca, and to get it to work you will likely need to patch the source code, and then do a custom compile (meaning you need kernel-source, gcc, gcc++, etc … in place first). I obtained that assessment from reading these threads: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams QuickCam E2500
This sort of patch and a custom compilation will be very challenging, but its the best possibility that I have read of getting this to work.
Ok i have do it and now when i plug my webcam it automatically load the kernel module (lsmod) but it doesn’t build a /dev/videox link … What should i do ?
