[GnomeMeeting-list] Logitech QuickCAM communicate STX, Ekiga, and Gentoo

[M Delroy <mcdelroy yahoo com>]

I am running Gentoo 2.6.13-r4 and trying to get Ekiga up with video chat. The Ekiga application starts but I have no sound or video. When I attempt to test the camera with the gqcam command. I get /dev/video: No such device. However the following files and links exist on my pc. They exist regardless of if the camera is connected.

crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 81, 0 Jul 17 2004 /dev/video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root portage 6 May 2 16:52 /dev/video -> video0

I received the same error when attempted to test using xawtv.

I successful emerged ekiga 2.0.1. I also emerged spca5xx, qc-usb-messenger-1.2.ebuild, and gqcam. I am successfully loading modules videodev and quickcam on boot up. When I attempt to modprobe spca5xx I get module not found. I see the following with lsusb after connecting the camera.
