hello,
eeepc cam is a V4L2 device. i think there is no (yet) officiel Gem release with 
V4L2 suport. you can check this when creating a pix_video object : it should 
print V4L and V4L2...

current development version works fine. so you should use the svn to download 
Gem latest source code, and compile it yourself.

you can also ask Iohannes to make release more often ;-)

Hi guys,

I normally stick to the forums but I've come here because I fear this is going to be a little too in depth. (I shall post the answer to the forum afterwards however).

I know the GEM developers have discussed this over here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00098.html

But I'm not a GEM developer! :)

My issue is, [pix_video] won't see my camera under any conditions (in GNU/Linux), whilst mplayer tv:// in the terminal or the Cheese Webcam Booth are both very happy to. I simply don't know where to begin. But really really desire this feature (it's one of the main reasons i bought the eeepc 701)

Running eeebuntu lxde beta 1 (a cut down ubuntu/debian)

Is this a common problem? Are there some standard procedures to fixing this? like reinstalling certain packages? e.t.c.

There's no rush here, but I'm sure it's a somewhat popular issue since the eeepc must be a popular medium for Pure Data

Thanks very much everyone.
