Hi there, i bought a IBM PC camera model 3(ibm net camera) & model 4( ibm pc camera). i was trying to make it work on a red hat linux 7.0 kernel 2.4.2. i got the latest drivers for xawtv version is 3.43 and the drivers for ibmpc camera are a week old ...i got them from CVS at sourceforge THESE ARE THE MESSAGES WHEN I FIRST PLUGGED IN THE CAMERA hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x545/0x8080) is not claimed by any active driver OUTPUT OF /sbin/lsmod [root@localhost ibmcam]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by ibmcam 42628 0 (unused) ibmdrv 65476 0 [ibmcam] videodev 5344 0 [ibmdrv] AFTER I LOADED THE IBM DRRIVERS AS MODULES, I GOT THESE MESSAGES VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,64) usb.c: registered new driver ibmcam ibmcam.c: ibmcam_probe(c2d0c200,0.) ibmcam.c: IBM USB camera found (model 3, rev. 0x0301) ibmcam.c: Number of alternate settings=2. ibmcam.c: Active setting=1. maxPS=1022. ibmcam.c: IBM camera: using 320x240 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_RegisterVideoDevice: iface=0. endpoint=$81 paletteBits=$000 00010 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_RegisterVideoDevice: video_register_device() successful usbvideo.c: ibmcam on /dev/video0: canvas=320x240 videosize=320x240 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_RegisterVideoDevice: Creating /proc/ibmcam/ filesystem entries.
