Note: The gspca modules for the 2.6.26 kernels are provided as separate packages or they can be custom-built using module-assistant. > I've tried > > - two webcams > - amd64 and 486 kernels > - camorama and skype > > > If you need more help with getting your camera working then we have to > > see the relevant part of your "lsusb" output. > > Both cameras are recognized, creating /dev/video0.

Google finds some Ubuntu bug reports about a similar problem with camorama. The problem seems to have appeared after an upgrade from some alliterative animal to another one, so maybe you have been bitten by a regression of camorama. Did you try any other tools to access the camera, e.g. xawtv, v4l-conf, webcam, gqcam, etc.? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
