Does anyone have this webcam (or any of the other Philips driver webcams) working under 9.1?
Without further assistance, I am not finding the traditional Philips webcm web site (http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/) very helpful.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Quickcam Pro 4000 works out of the box in SuSE 9.1. I didn't have to do anything special. The PWC modules from www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ are in the kernel already. Also in the generic kernels. But if you want to use the full image size you need the binary only module PWCX from www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ Quote from www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/: "Usually, you will need two modules: PWC and PWCX. PWCX is the (binary only) decompressor module and was introduced to separate the open source part of the driver from the stuff I cannot release as source;" So check first your installation, if it works fine with the PWC coming with SuSE. And only if you then need a bigger image, go to www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ and install the latest version of PWC and PWCX. HTH, Matt
