[GnomeMeeting-list] Philips ToUCam Pro and kernel 2.4.17



Hello, 
I have a philips pcvc 740k (ToUcam Pro) webcam. 
I downloaded kernel 2.4.17 form kernel.org, I compiled and enabled as
modules video4linux, then usb-audio, usb-uhci, usb-ohci, uhci and pwc in
USB section of the kernel config. 
In /etc/modules.conf I have 
alias char-major-180      usbcore 
alias char-major-81       videodev 

in that order, but gnomemeeting always says Error opening device video,
channel 0. 
I installed PWCX-8.2 in /lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/usb 
(that's the location of pwc.o) and ran 'depmod -a' 

PWCX-8.2 is compiled for kernel 2.4.18. I tried with and without 'Set
all symbols in modules' at kernel configuration.

I have SuSE 7.1 (but many packages are updated since 7.1) and XFree
4.1.0 
I installed pwlib and openh323  RPM's for SuSE. 

Also, I have the old style /dev, that's 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root   root    6 Sep 22  2000 /dev/video -> video0 
crw-rw----    1 root     video     81,   0 Jan 19  2001 /dev/video0 
the user is 'drusilla' and the command 
# groups drusilla 
returns
drusilla : users uucp dialout video 

I read the FAQ's, I think I have to put something in /etc/modules.conf,
maybe 
alias char-major-xyz  pwc 
but don't know if it's right or wrong, and which numbers are those
'xyz'... 

Don't know what else to do... :'( 
Can you help me, please? 

Thanks. 

Salvatore di Maggio.
