This is pretty much a guess, but I suspect that if the camera locks the box up when you first plug it in you should be looking at the USB or V4L configuration, not the camera driver. When you plug the camera in the USB driver is invoked to figure out what device you're now using, and then the Video for Linux layer does some monkeying around, and I'd guess that it is either the USB layer is not recognizing the dvice and failing (though it really shouldn't) or the Video 4 Linux layer is dying for some other reason. I don't think the camera driver gets involved until you actually try to use it. You might try getting your system in synch with some standard distribution and seeing if that helps.Benoit PAPILLAULT wrote:On Mon, 17 Jun 2002 13:00:38 +0200 Ronald Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:There are several quickcam models....How do you determine which 'model' you have? I've tried to get mine to work, but it locked my box up.Are there docs identifing the proper driver? I did a google search, and found a few references, but locking the box up was a good sign something wasn't right. Kernel 2.4.17.
