thats just it.. I did load the videodev and c-qcam modules, which are the proper modules for the camera...
All i can assume is that it has something to do with the camera being a parallel port camera.. but thats what the c-qcam always was.. parallel, its before logitec bought them, its a connectix. any tips for getting a parrallel cam to work?? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Fernando Pintabona Sent: Friday, 11 October 2002 2:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] /dev/video Frank, I guess that linux isn't seeing your cam. I've got a Philips ToUCam USB and had the same problem. Used mknod to create /dev/video and nothing happened. Programs would still complain they couldn't find /dev/video. I could only fix that by loading the appropiate modules that would recognize my webcam.
