I have a Dell Vostro 1500 with an integrated OmniVision webcam (05a9:2640). This is the relevant part of "lsusb -v": ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

Then, I issued "make install" and got the same reply as on the guide. However, the device is still not recognized, even after a reboot. I tried CamStream, Kopete, and Ekiga; neither was able to find the webcam. Also, running twice "make install" did not work. Trying "modprobe uvcvideo" returns the following error message: FATAL: Module uvcvideo not found. For me, it means that the module files were not loaded into the correct directory. When I look into /lib/modules/2.6.23.14-115.fc8/usb/media the directory is empty. At least this is the directory I think the module should be loaded, according to the Makefile that came with the svn of linux-uvc. Can anyone help me out? I'm guessing that I'm not loading the module on the kernel at all... Thanks. ___________________________ Rudi Gaelzer Registered Linux user # 153741 _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
