Hi. I have a such webcam and SuSE 9.0. this cam worked fine with SuSE 8.2, but in 9.0 doesn't work. in SuSE 8.0 there was a module named ov518_decomp this module don't exist in 9.0. the /proc/bus/usb/info shows information about the cam, and the module ov511 seems to load without errors, but xawtv claims that not /dev/video0 available. permisions for /dev/video* gandalf:/usr/src # ll /dev/video* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2004-08-31 00:47 /dev/video -> video0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 0 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/video0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 1 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/video1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 171, 16 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/video1394 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 2 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/video2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 3 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/video3 output for xawtv gandalf:/usr/src # xawtv This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-243-athlon) can't open /dev/video0: Function not implemented v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video0: Función no implementada v4l2: open /dev/video0: Función no implementada v4l: open /dev/video0: Función no implementada no video grabber device available output fo lsmod gandalf:/usr/src # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ov511 76800 0 pwc 44656 0 (unused) i2c-algo-bit 7944 0 i2c-core 15492 0 [i2c-algo-bit] snd-pcm-oss 49728 0 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 15576 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] nls_iso8859-1 2844 0 (autoclean) appletalk 22124 1 (autoclean) ax25 45556 1 (autoclean) ipx 18116 1 (autoclean) videodev 6272 1 (autoclean) [ov511 pwc] usbserial 20924 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport_pc 28648 1 (autoclean) lp 6304 1 (autoclean) parport 25608 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] nfsd 83568 4 (autoclean) isa-pnp 32712 0 (unused) ipt_TCPMSS 2392 1 (autoclean) ipt_TOS 1048 9 (autoclean) ipt_state 568 58 (autoclean) ipt_LOG 3384 62 (autoclean) powernow-k7 4033 0 (unused) snd-ali5451 14308 1 snd-pcm 74148 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-ali5451] snd-page-alloc 6676 0 [snd-pcm] thermal 6180 0 (unused) snd-timer 17024 0 [snd-pcm] processor 8312 0 [thermal] snd-ac97-codec 45400 0 [snd-ali5451] fan 1472 0 (unused) button 2380 0 (unused) snd 40388 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-ali5451 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] battery 5600 0 (unused) soundcore 3940 0 [snd] ac 1696 0 (unused) ds 7212 1 yenta_socket 10784 1 pcmcia_core 47328 0 [ds yenta_socket] st 29680 0 (autoclean) (unused) sr_mod 14616 0 (autoclean) sg 35232 0 (autoclean) keybdev 2156 0 (unused) mousedev 4340 0 (unused) joydev 5440 0 (unused) evdev 3840 0 input 3488 0 [keybdev mousedev joydev evdev] usb-ohci 20104 0 (unused) usbcore 64332 1 [ov511 pwc usbserial usb-ohci] raw1394 18288 0 (unused) ieee1394 188260 0 [raw1394] af_packet 13192 1 (autoclean) 8139cp 14344 1 mii 2640 0 [8139cp] ip6t_LOG 3736 2 (autoclean) ip6t_REJECT 1528 3 (autoclean) ip6table_mangle 2744 0 (autoclean) (unused) ipt_REJECT 3288 3 (autoclean) iptable_mangle 2168 1 (autoclean) iptable_filter 1708 1 (autoclean) ip_nat_ftp 2992 0 (unused) iptable_nat 16366 1 [ip_nat_ftp] ip_conntrack_ftp 3920 1 ip_conntrack 18084 3 [ipt_state ip_nat_ftp iptable_nat ip_conntrack_ftp] ip_tables 11328 10 [ipt_TCPMSS ipt_TOS ipt_state ipt_LOG ipt_REJECT iptable_mangle iptable_filter iptable_nat] ip6table_filter 1804 1 (autoclean) ip6_tables 12224 4 [ip6t_LOG ip6t_REJECT ip6table_mangle ip6table_filter] ipv6 227456 -1 (autoclean) [ip6t_REJECT] key 70456 0 (autoclean) [ipv6] ide-scsi 11056 0 scsi_mod 101236 4 [st sr_mod sg ide-scsi] ide-cd 32416 0 cdrom 29216 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] lvm-mod 65508 0 (autoclean) ext3 88552 5 jbd 52480 5 [ext3] any help appreciated Greetings.
