/dev/video: No such file or directory

[Andrew Levin]

Hello,

I am trying to set up my Logitech Quickcam driver under Linux. I have done it before, so I know it is possible. I am using qce-ga-0.40c with V4L as the drivers, and will eventually use gqcam as my capture application. /var/log confirms the device is registered:

Nov 6 03:27:24 www kernel: usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb000, IRQ 5

lsmod confirms that the drivers are in place.

However, there is simply no /dev/video or /dev/video0 file. I believe it is either supposed to always be there, or be created upon plugging in of the camera. I have Dejagoogled and am unable to find a fix for this problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yours Truly,
