is your
USB daemon up ?
test is
with 'modprobe usb'
anyway, if
it doesn't run (as root ): '/etc/init.d/rc.d/usb start'
this will
start your usb, then you'll have to look for some driver for your
cam
If you has
an SmartMedia or something, like mine - Toshiba PDR-M5,
then
it's very
simple, you just mount the smartmedia to /mnt/camera, and access it
like any
other regular directory ...
Hope I
helped ...
I
get 'no cameras detected' with gphoto. I guess what I really need is a
working/hack
driver for the Quickcam Pro (USB).
Did
you check the gphoto ?
The camera is a logitech quickcam pro, no smart media. The
express
drivers were useless for me. I get the same results with xawtv and
webcam;
'no device at /dev/video.' I have a Lifeview Robocam working on
another
Mandrake machine, I had to do no extra tweaking to get it to work.
I believe
it uses the OV511? driver.

Does your camera have some storage device (like
SmartMedia) ?
