This is a repost, sorry if you've already seen it, but I don't think it
made it out first time...

This was Bugzilla'ed (#70) waay back in Beta 2; it's overdue for being
fixed, and dead trivial to do. (Obviously, this is one of Warly's
"useless" bug reports that get "quietly ignored".)

There are several "Logitech QuickCam Express" webcams with different USB
IDs. Although the QuickCam Express is listed as working in LM 8.2, LM 9.0
Beta 2 doesn't recognize my recent model (USB ID 0x46D/0x870), 'cause it
has an obsolete version of the mod_quickcam driver
(/lib/modules/2.4.18-22mdk/kernel/3rdparty/mod_quickcam/mod_quickcam.o.gz)
dated 6/16/01. The current version of the mod_quickcam driver, dated
5/22/02, version 0.40.c, DOES operate this webcam (I have verified this on
9.0 beta 2). It can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/
and compiles/installs quite painlessly. Problem solved?


On a related note, the xawtv package *appears* to be missing the webcam
app, though it appears in the author's original package in the current
version. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Thanks, Steve
