Hi everyone,
I lately got a Trust WB-3100P webcam as a gift but I still haven't managed to make it to work.
This is what I did so far:
1) switched from ker 2.4.31 to 2.6.15.1 and compiled in
a) video for linux support
b) USB S9C10X which seems to be the one this webcam needs to work properly
2) installed libdv
3) installed libquicktime
4) MAKEDEV video
5) changed permissions to the device:
pier@darkstar:/dev$ ls -al /dev/video lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2006-01-21 12:50 /dev/video -> video0
6) yet xawtv returns:
pier@darkstar:~$ xawtv -d ot i /dev/video

This is xawtv-3.93, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.15.1)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available
7) furthermore:
pier@darkstar:~$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.93, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.15.1)
looking for available devices
port 61-61
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : ATI Radeon Video Overlay
8) dmesg returns:

....don't know where to bang my head next... I've almost given up hope

Thanks for any help in solving this,
Pier

I have a similar problem, however no solution. I have a USB webcam (Xirlink inside, some generic name outside) and the driver is included in at least the newer kernels. However, as you have noticed, the USB device (/dev/usbdev with some numbers) doesn't show up as a v4l device (/dev/video). I know that my v4l is working correctly because I have a TV card and it works just fine (/dev/video0).

I tried a less-than-graceful fix of simply creating a link called /dev/video1 and pointing it to the proper USB device, but that didn't work and was pretty much doomed from the start. I also tried using the USB device as the video device by passing xawtv the -c flag, but no luck there either.

Also, I have never had any luck with xawtv even with the working TV card, so you might not want to trust it if it fails.

I will keep on tinkering here and let you know if I figure something out. In the meantime, does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Matt,
no luck so far ... just a big headache!
Link down seems to point out that the device is hardly supported.... Giving it away will save me a lot of wasted time .
