Webcam not working

[pider]

Hi
I have a webcam (it was a Xmas gift from my children! ) :Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro that will not work in Kubuntu or any Linux distro I have e used . I did google and searched the Internet, but no solution was found.

Here is lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 041e:4055 Creative Technology, Ltd Live! Cam Video IM Pro

I think there is no driver that fits!
Anyone here that can help?

I can't help directly as I don't have that CAM (I have a buggy and old Logitech QuickCAM Chat), but check these two posts:

Re: Webcam not working

I have downloaded the m560x driver, but I do not know how to compile it!

This is actually a better description. Alter it to suit the driver you downloaded.

Just in case, start from the preparing the system to build Kernel modules.

Hi
I try to compile the driver, but it will not compile.
There are also several directories and I do not know which one to use or compile.
Here are the directories:

per@per-loftstova:~/m560x-driver/m560x$ ls
branches Documentation firmware tags testprograms trunk

Here is the result when I tried to compile the files in the "trunk" dir:

per@per-loftstova:~/m560x-driver/m560x/trunk/km_m560x$ make
make -C /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/per/m560x-driver/m560x/trunk/km_m560x modules

"Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog" this translated to english: No such file or dir

The file "n560x_core.c" does exist:

Re: Webcam not working

Hmmm.... I'm looking into it. Hopefully I can figure it out in the next few minutes.

Re: Webcam not working

Okay, I'm looking at the readme file, and it's "a sub driver for the gspcav2 project. It cannot work with out gspvav2."

So, I ran an experiment - I fetched the v4l-dvb tarball and added the driver in as documented in the read me, but v4l-dvb won't compile for me due to it being depreciated. I'm out of time right now, but maybe someone can figure out how to get v4l-dvb to compile with the driver added in. I believe once v4l-dvb can be compiled it will work.
