Hello folks, I am reposting my problem again.. I am hoping to get a webcam (a TV tuner card later) working on a Debian/Unstable box with 2.6.17-1-486 kernel and evga's graphics card with nVidia GForce 6600LE chipset.
The webcam in concern is a Logitech Quickcam IM. The material I dug up from the net says to compile a certain driver against the kernel headers. But there are no /dev/video* devices. I have put the v4l module (videodev) using modconf. lsmod gives the following list: Module Size Used by quickcam 91336 0 smbfs 55800 0 usbvideo 23812 0 c_qcam 11160 0 compat_ioctl32 1408 2 usbvideo,c_qcam videodev 8832 3 quickcam,usbvideo,c_qcam uhci_hcd 19464 0 nls_cp437 5888 0 vfat 11520 0 fat 45852 1 vfat sd_mod 18448 0 usb_storage 69952 0 nls_iso8859_1 4224 1 isofs 31672 1 udf 71812 0 appletalk 30384 2 ax25 46168 2 ipx 23084 2 p8023 2176 1 ipx binfmt_misc 10376 1 speedstep_lib 4484 0 freq_table 4356 0 ipv6 210784 17 button 6544 0 ac 4868 0 battery 9220 0 dm_mod 48568 0 ide_generic 1408 0 [permanent] mousedev 10400 1 tsdev 7360 0 snd_ens1371 22432 1 gameport 13448 1 snd_ens1371 snd_rawmidi 21792 1 snd_ens1371 snd_seq_device 7692 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm_oss 35616 0 snd_mixer_oss 15616 1 snd_pcm_oss psmouse 34184 0 snd_intel8x0 29596 2 snd_ac97_codec 82336 2 snd_ens1371,snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2304 1 snd_ac97_codec 8250_pnp 8704 0 evdev 8960 1 i2c_nforce2 6656 0 serio_raw 6276 0 pcspkr 2816 0 i2c_core 19216 1 i2c_nforce2 snd_pcm 71432 4 snd_ens1371,snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 19716 1 snd_pcm snd 45668 15 snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8800 1 snd parport_pc 31396 0 parport 31944 2 c_qcam,parport_pc rtc 11444 0 snd_page_alloc 9480 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm floppy 52868 0 ext3 114952 1 jbd 45588 1 ext3 ide_cd 35104 1 cdrom 32288 1 ide_cd ide_disk 14976 3 sata_nv 9220 0 libata 60300 1 sata_nv scsi_mod 120840 3 sd_mod,usb_storage,libata ohci_hcd 17412 0 ehci_hcd 26888 0 amd74xx 12700 0 [permanent] usbcore 108544 7 quickcam,usbvideo,uhci_hcd,usb_storage,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd generic 4356 0 [permanent] ide_core 107940 6 usb_storage,ide_generic,ide_cd,ide_disk,amd74xx,generic forcedeth 25228 0 thermal 12680 0 processor 21440 1 thermal fan 4484 0 ----------------- udev seems to take care of the devices... when i try to "MAKEDEV video", i get the following message.. udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ yes there are all sorts of device files in that directory with access only to root.
