I can confirm this problem. I am trying to get a logitech webcam chat working without success. Once I had modprobed spcaa5xx (that will be another bug report btw) and the v4l2 and v4l1 compatibility modules (yet another bug report I think) I still found no /dev/video or /dev/video0.
There is, however, a /sys/usb/drivers/spca5xx, which suggests that the driver has properly recognised the camera. I tried # mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 # chmod /dev/video0 666 (as per http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_logitech_quickcam_on_2.6.x_kernel), but still no luck. The error message I get from camorama in all cases is "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection." -- No /dev/video https://launchpad.net/bugs/64993 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
