Hello.
I've tried to install drivers for this camera several times, w/o any success...

Hi John,
please try to be a bit more specific, what modules have you been trying and what kinds of problems are you experiencing?
I have a Logitech QuickCam express myself, and it works fine with the gspca and v4l2 modules.

You're right.
I've downloaded gspca_01.00.18.orig.tar.gz and extracted the files.
Code: Select all
bubba:/home/john/cam# make install
mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx.ko
rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca.ko
install -c -m 0644 gspca.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
install: kan inte ta status på "gspca.ko": Filen eller katalogen finns inte
make: *** [install] Fel 1
I have also tried to follow this guide.

But i got errors about it couldn't find the kernel. There was something about it not finding modules also.
EDIT:
Code: Select all
bubba:/home/john/qc-usb-0.6.5# make all
awk: cannot open /lib/modules/2.6.16.16/build/include/linux/version.h (No such file or directory)
/bin/sh: line 1: [: -ge: unary operator expected

I installed GCC but got too many errors...
I feel pretty confident using linux, but modules is not my thing...

Bjorn, could you please tell me how you did when you installed your cam.

i don't remember exactly what i did, but if i plug it in now, it loads the videodev and gspca modules
The modules where compiled with crosstools on my workstation and then transfered to bubba.
I've created a tar-file with them that you can download here:

But i know that there exist different version of the chip in the quickcam. There should be a sticker on the cable that tells which one you have. I have M/N: V-UAL9.
No guarantees that this works for you though...
Good luck!
