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

I downloaded the svn trunk for the uvcvideo driver, compiled it with "make", 
thereby creating the kernel modules uvcvideo.ko and uvcvideo.mod.o (plus 
uvc_queue.o, uvc_status.o and other object files). 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.
