Installing Creative WebCam Live!


Hi.
I just bought a 'Creative WebCam Live!' but I can't make it work under linux.
I can't find any info on the chipset.

The product # is: VF-0050
Manufacturer: Creative Labs Inc.
lsusb info: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4036 Creative Technology, Ltd

Does anybody know if it works under linux?
How do I install a webcam? What kernel modules should I use? (I have 2.6.7 currently)

I got the same problem. I got this information about it (after opening it up)

lsusb givs this:

So I have search google and links from those hits I found. Here is what I found (have not tried myself yet ):

This address has usefull information about different web cams:
http://genius-europe.com/service/faq/tuxcam.htm

This is a quite new driver that has support for the chip in your camera, but not for your camera, what I can see:
zc0302 module at sourceforge

This address is about an old version of a driver that's goint to have support for your web cam, but doesn't (module spca50X):
spca50x module at sourceforge

Here is a develop version that has support for your web cam (module spca5XX, and don't be afraid about the language, just search ):
Authors site with module spca5XX

Hope this help you with your camera.

Yours
