Hello, I installed debian-ppc on Mac Mini G4 and attached a USB webcam.
Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc #1 Mon Mar 7 22:49:07 UTC 2011 ppc GNU/Linux lsusb shows the webcam, and lsmod shows the driver, but no /dev/video0 is created. The server is headless, so I only have remote shell access to this machine. When I attach the webcam to an i386 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10, the webcam just works, with nominally same driver (Linux 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:40:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux). What do I need to do to get this working? Is there a fundamental reason why this might work on i386 and not on PPC? Is there a better list to ask this question? I think I am subscribed to this list, although I never got a confirmation. I will not be offended if you copy me on any replies.
