Description of problem: An old labtec webcam work well with kmod-qc-usb drivers from rpm-fusion with camstream or amsn. The video appears in gstreamer-properties after running "qcset /dev/video0 compat=dblbuf" as said in http://live.gnome.org/Cheese/FAQ. But cheese still do not recognize the webcam Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cheese-2.24.1-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install qc-usb driver with an old labtec webcam 2. run cheese Actual results: cheese don't recognize the webcam and don't show the video. Expected results: cheese should recognize the webcam and show the video. Additional info:
This most likely is a driver issue, not a cheese issue. cheese does some things which can stress certain drivers. Given that qc-usb is not provided by Fedora this is a not supported solution, so I'm going to close this. Note that work is underway upstream though (and I'm participating in this work) to get qc-usb ported to v4l2 and merged into the mainline kernel, A very preliminary version of this work is available here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~eandren/gspca-stv06xx/ But at this early point in its development I cannot advice you to test it. When I find the time to work on this I'll make sure to also test it with cheese :)
