I have a fix for this but it will probably require a package in plf as it requires a non gpl'd binary only module. Apparently sometime between 9.0 and 9.1 the developer of the pwc driver has changed the way the pwc module works with the Logitech (philips chipset) Quickcam Pro 3000. Below are the steps I took to get it to work in Mandrake 9.1: 1.)Download the pwcx module from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/pwcx-8.2-gcc32.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# wget http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/pwcx-8.2-gcc32.tar.gz 2.) Untar the binary module and copy it to the kernel modules directory. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tar -xzvf pwcx-8.2-gcc32.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cp pwcx-8.2-gcc32/pwcx-gcc32.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx-gcc32.o 3.)Add the following line to the end of your /etc/modules.conf post-install pwc /sbin/insmod --force /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx-gcc32.o >/dev/null 2>&1 || : [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# echo "post-install pwc /sbin/insmod --force /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx-gcc32.o >/dev/null 2>&1 || :" >> /etc/modules.conf If you still have problems with gnomemeeting complaining when you open the video device, you may need to set the color palette to rgb24 using gconf-editor (reminds me of regedit *shudder*), drill down to apps, gnomemeeting, devices. right click the key for "color_format" and choose edit. Change it from yuv420p to rgb24. If anyone (plf?) is interested in an rpm to handle all this I could probably throw one together. Also if anyone knows how to get the integrated usb audio to work, or has had luck using gnomemeeting with i810 audio, please contact me :) Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
