[em4g.3ht]

oh, i just check through the the dmesg code again and found this

I'm somewhat certain that wasn't there before so it may have been from gspca drivers

I'm somewhat certain that wasn't there before so it may have been from gspca drivers

The driver seems to be working ok. In this kernel log the driver has been loaded twice becuse you connected the webcam twice into your PC.

Have you tried out Ekiga?

[linux23dragon]

how about for my sony vaio... vgn-cr220e?

Have you tried it out yet?

I need to know the device ID number. Please post the output from this command. Using the terminal.

lsusb

[linux23dragon]

It is described as "Digital Compact camera"

Please post the output after entering this command in a terminal.

ekiga worked great!

which is good news i suppose because that means the driver is working, and I suppose always was.

Man, i hate wasting so much time just to find out that it was the programs fault

cheese and camorama do not work, does anyone know of a good "photo booth" software i can use?

or should I try updating cheese manually, if not really sure of my next step.

and linux dragon is there a simple way to un-do the gspca drivers? or would it be better to leave them?

Hello,

I have a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks

$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 046d:08ae Logitech, Inc. Quickcam for Notebooks

which used to work under Hardy with the GSPCA driver. I had to replace the ZC0301 module with the GSPCA one to have it running smoothly.

In Intrepid, it works in Cheese and in Ekiga wit the ZC0301 driver but wont show any picture in application such as skype or aMSN. I've tried to install the GSPCA, compilling it from the original package or using your technique, however everytime I try to load the GSPCA driver I get a message :

$ sudo modprobe gspca
FATAL: Module gspca not found

Any clues?

[Yezinki]

Logitech quick cam vision & quick cam pro 9000, shall function in 8.10 with out any issues.

My intergrated webcam used to work perfectly in 8.04, now it doesn't work at all. Here's the output of lsusb:
