need driver for aiptek pencam 2 running on RH9

distortedstar · 01-15-2004, 10:52 AM

I've searched google and the official site for a driver for the aiptek pencam 2. I've had no success. Plenty of drivers for their higher end products such the pencam trio, but this a fairly cheap product... I'd really like to use it with gnome meeting, and I'm in college so I can't really go buy a new webcam at the moment. Any suggestions for a linux driver?

it is a usb device, but i'm having trouble finding out what to mount it as. In other words, I don't know whether to use "/dev/sga" for something else. Also, I would still like to use the webcam function in gnome meeting. Thanks for the idea, though...i'm hard at work on on it. I'll let you know if it works!
