Logitech quickcam messenger in mdk10.1

simeandrews · 03-20-2005, 04:16 PM

How do I get my logitech quickcam messenger (usb) working in Mandrake 10.1 official? I have the 2.6.8 kernel. THe hardwrae detecter in mcc detects it, but doesn't know what it is and puts it under "other", and calls it camera.

vendor 1133. hmmm. most logitechs are 046d's. try /sbin/lsusb or usbview if you have it installed

I installed usbview, but what do I want to do with it?

run it and see if the device id matches what you posted earlier.

simeandrews · 03-20-2005, 08:01 PM

The vendor id is 046d

Also, on the side of usbview, camera is in red text, that probably means something.

rshaw · 03-20-2005, 08:05 PM

that makes more sense, the device id is ? just under the vendor id in usbview

simeandrews · 03-20-2005, 08:11 PM

Actually, there is no device id, but there is a product one just under the vendor id, and it is 08f0.

Just so you know, I don't have drivers or anything for this, this was a thought I had today so that I can make linux as usable as possible.

you'll need to install your kernel source and headers, devel tools etc., the readme is fairly straight forward
