Hi all. I am having problems using my new logitech quickcam pro 5000 with Dapper. At first, when I plugged it in out of the box, my kopete setup window showed an entry in 'input'. I could see myself in the test screen. This suggests that I have some level of support already for this camera. However when I upgraded to the latest version of kopete, which has more facilities for webcam sharing, there was no entry in 'input' on the config window, and no video either.
I understand that the QuickCam 5000 (lsusb says 'Bus 010 Device 002: ID 046d:08c5 Logitech, Inc.) uses the uvc standard which goes with v4l2 (Video for Linux 2). I also understand that v4l2 is in the dapper kernel (it is a 2.6 kernel). What I don't understand is what, if anything, I need to do to 'activate' v4l2, or if this is not even my problem.
I have installed apache, svn and thereby got the latest uvc drivers using:
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
A trunk/uvcvideo.c
A trunk/uvcvideo.h
A trunk/Makefile
A trunk/v4l2_enumfrmfmt.h
Checked out revision 60.
how do I proceed from here? I would like to know how to incorporate this (compile? install?) into the kernel modules (?). As you can see my knowledge is patchy despite some reading. I would be very grateful for any help to get this running.
when I do 'dmesg' I get multiple lines saying
[17179642.240000] uvcvideo: Failed to query (131) UVC control 7 (unit 2) : -32.
[17179642.412000] uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 2 (unit 2) : -32.
[17179642.424000] uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 3 (unit 2) : -32.
[17179642.724000] uvcvideo: Failed to query (130) UVC control 3 (unit 2) : -110
etc
with thanks
