HOW TO GET IT GOING!
lol i feel so proud. changing some numbers in somebody else's driver.
anyway.
I used the zr364xx driver. and put some stuff into zr364xx.c before compiling.
{USB_DEVICE (0x04f2, 0xa208)},
{ 0x04f2, 0xa208, 0, "Creative PC-CAM 850" },
in the places where those go. not hard to find.
i havent got anybody else to test those numbers but they should be all the same.
check lsusb output while your camera is in webcam mode.
if you get something different or the same please post here and tell me so i can be sure
i've emailed the guy who wrote this driver with what i did maybe he will list it on his site or add it.
------------------------------------------
i have a creative pc-cam 850 (digital camera and when you push a button on it it changes to a webcam)
i cant find any documentation for a driver for linux for this webcam.
i use gentoo.
and i have emerged spca50x and quickcam drivers both wont work when i have them autoload but that could just be that they are wrong. it is quite possible there is no driver for this camera but i hope that isnt true.
it seems to call it a chicony. so it is rebranded like my tablet :P (which i also dont have working)
from dmesg

im hoping to get this working by the time amsn with webcam support comes out in the gentoo portage tree. =D
at least just to get the pictures off it (though webcam would be awesome aswell) i read on a forum elsewhere that someome managed to mount it using mount- t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera but that doesnt work for me it cant find sda1, i think he used Suse, im on mandriva...and yeh there is no official driver for the pc cam, but im sure there would be a way to mount it as a mass storage device ?
