[opensuse] Webcam difficulties
I'm trying to set up a Creative USB Webcam Live! I've installed Camelot 0.3.5 but when I open it I get an error message saying Initializing Video4Linux input failed: Cannot open device /dev/video0: No such file or directory which is indeed true. Problem, how can I get the software and hardware to see each other? -- Bob SuSE Linux 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Some debug info would be great - try looking at /var/log/messages when connecting/disconnecting the cam. Post the results. Also take a look at http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html It seems that you will need the spca5xx driver (not included on std openSUSE distro, I compiled it myself, works ok but contrast issues with my logitech) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are a lot of files in there, none of them seem to change when I plug/unplug my camera. Which one should I be looking for?

I'm running a 64 bit system here, I'm not sure those drivers will work. Thanks -- Bob SuSE Linux 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm not sure what that last line means :(
It means that you don't have a driver file for it. http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html, will help you, as this camera with the usb id is listed. And you can use this URL to get the compilable module: http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Might I ask as to which version, and what driver module you are using? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
