When I installed Fedora Core 3 ( since RC1 up to test 3) when I plug the camera usbview shows only snd-audio, but no camera. Therefore I am not able to use it with gnomemeeting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora Core 3 with no camera attached to USB. 2.Run usbview command. 3.Plug the usb webcam to the usb port. Usbview will show snd-audio but no camera. Actual Results: No /dev/video or (udev/video) avalilable. Expected Results: To be able to use the webcam. Additional info:
Support for these particular (Philips) cams was removed from the kernel, upstream. For now, you can patch it back in using a patch from here, and recompile the kernel yourself: http://www.saillard.org/pwc/ The particular patch below worked for me just fine with the 2.6.9-1.640 kernel, and it includes what used to be in the pwcx package, adding higher resolutions: http://www.saillard.org/pwc/linux-2.6.9-rc2_pwc-10.0.4.patch.bz2 There are also patches available here, but I can't speak for them because I used the one from above: http://ngc891.blogdns.net/index.php?2004/10/19/19-linux-269
