LinuxQuestions.org - Configure a Webcam-Logitech QuickCam Express on openSUSE 11.2

Puzzled...

My old Logitech QuickCam Express webcam is listed as being supported by the gspca2 driver. I followed these instructions, but the installation wizard for 11.2 failed to install the driver. I could install the Software Repository however, and installed the package through YaST.

The webcam is found as a UBS device with the right identification, using "lsusb".

Code:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0840 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express

The results of "lsmod" seem to say that the driver is installed as it should be with the correct module being loaded.

Code:

gspca_stv06xx          35024  0        

gspca_main            32072  1 gspca_stv06xx

videodev              46848  1 gspca_main  

v4l1_compat            19020  1 videodev    

v4l2_compat_ioctl32    12776  1 videodev

Among other things, I installed Gnome Cheese as a test application, and Cheese shows a full color test pattern. Cheese operates the webcam, taking a nice picture of that test pattern.

The webcam functions in Windows XP, and seems to function as a device in openSUSE 11.2, but I don't know how to proceed to configure it to produce an image. Neither does Google.

Hopefully someone does...
