What is making you be so sure that a Logitech will works for you? If Logitech does not provide a specific Linux driver, there are good possibilities that it will fails too.
Generally that's because the Logitech cams support the UVC standard...I have a Logitech 250 and all I did was plug it in.. and it works. I didn't have to do anything at all to get it working. Previously, I had a Philips cam... and getting it to even start up was a nightmare let alone getting the microphone working (something I've never managed).
After following this thread, i got a Logitech Portable Webcam C905, which is listed as working with Linux. I plugged it in, and I get this:
[ 1105.817046] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 [ 1106.159372] usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=080a [ 1106.159399] usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=2 [ 1106.159417] usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 52A9A160 [ 1106.159664] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 1106.160651] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:080a) [ 1106.200358] input: UVC Camera (046d:080a) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input12
which seems good. I am a member of the video group. The device shows up as:
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 2010-04-05 09:52 /dev/video1
Before I can access the camera in Skype, I first have to run kopete. I wonder why that would be.
Flash does not seem to be able to detect the camera. I have gone through the settings to be sure the sites should ask before accessing the camera. The Flash app simply says "Detecting camera" and never shows the Allow dialog. I really hate flash... But I want to get this to work.
Anyone else using a UVC camera via flash?
Since then I have found this site: http://oldes.multimedia.cz/swf/mx-webcam.html And the camera works. So, it is something in the specific flash app that is causing the problem. This test is older. Maybe there is a newer flash webcam API that the flash app is using that has the issue... -- Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST/OPQ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
