Hello,
I am running etch and I have a pleomax pwc-2100 webcam by Pixart Imaging
Inc. The pwc-2100 doesn't run out the box. After googling a bit, I found
that it needs the gspca module. I installed the gspca-source and
followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/gspca-source/readme.debian:
$ m-a prepare
$ m-a a-i gspca
the process ends with errors. Looking at the log file in the
module-assistant log file viewer, I found the following lines which
report errors:
scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in
"/usr/src/modules/gsp (<-----line is out of margins here)

I never used module-assistant before. Any help will be very much
appreciated!
Which version of gspca-source do you use? It seems that you are running
a backported 2.6.26 kernel, so maybe you need to use the newer
gspca-source package from Lenny. (Unfortunately, a backported package of
the newer gspca-source version does not seem to be available.)
Hi Florian,
I have returned to the linux-image-2.6.18-686 kernel shipped with etch,
and installed gspca-modules-2.6-686 accordingly.
Now, my webcam, a Pleomax, is detected by the system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2600 Pixart Imaging, Inc.
the gspca module is supposed to work with Pixart devices:
"The gpsca video for linux (v4l) driver, provides support for webcams
and digital cameras based on the spca5xx range of chips manufactured by
SunPlus, Sonix, Z-star, Vimicro, Conexant, Etoms, Mars-semi, Pixart and
Transvision."
the gspca module is loaded using modprobe:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
gspca 600336 0
videodev 21120 1 gspca
v4l1_compat 12036 1 videodev
v4l2_common 20448 1 videodev
but still, skype and ekiga are not able to detect any webcam present...
Any help will be very welcome!
Regards
Marcelo
