Hi
I am trying to get my 3Com Webcam running on my
Debian 3.0 box with 2.4.18 on it. I have the kernel recompiled with v4l and the
vicam driver as modules. It picks it up ok with the usb portion in the devices,
loads the modules it needs, and I made the /dev/video linked to /dev/video0 and
the light comes on the cam. Any capture app I run (w3camd, vidcat, and a couple
other ones I have found) ends up hanging the app and keeping the device open, a
kill wont even bring it down, I need a reboot (so much for that 6 month up
time!). As well I have tried a vigrab (that required no vicam driver installed)
with no luck.
So it comes down to I have read every document I
could find (finding usb-webcam support not to well documented and under
beta) and looking for all the help and input I can get.
Any insight would be GREATLY
appreciated!
Thanks
Arron
