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.
