I've been trying to setup my Sony Eyetoy as a webcam on my system for a while now and I'm facing a problem. (I have Debian 3.1, uname -a gives: 'Linux [hostname] 2.6.8-3-powerpc #1 [date] ppc GNU/Linux'). I installed the ov511-source package over apt, used 'modprobe ov511', installed xawtv, used 'mknod' to create /dev/video0, but after doing all of this, I can't use the cam. When running 'xawtv -c /dev/video0', I get:
Code:
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/ppc (2.6.8-3-powerpc)
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
I tryed compiling bttv, but there seemed to be an error on every line when I ran 'make KDIR=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8-3'. I think this may be the problem. I do have the kernel source andd headers installed.
I have no idea how to fix this, any ideas?
Thanks in advance...
