Hello Friends,

Please help me installing my "Logitech Quickcam Go" on my system. Below are the details:

OS: Fedora Core 7
Kernel: 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7

Output of lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I have checked and This link says this webcam is supported.

I don't know how to get the webcam working. Please help me for the same step by step assuming a newbie.

I tried a lot with help of google but couldn't get it working. I can't see any /dev/video in my system. Also lsmod doesn't return anything related to my webcam.

Also please tell me which applications I should use to view the videos from webcam. Google says something v4L, xawtv etc. I don't know what to do with them. I have mplayer on my system (I heard it is also a V4L client).

Waiting for your help,

Dipu

Download the driver code:

http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Downl...0070508.tar.gz

Unpack:

$ gzip -cd gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz | tar xvf -

cd into the directory, run 'make'. Become root and run 'make install'. Plug in the cam. Then (as root) run 'modprobe gspca'.

I would also get the tools package

http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Downl...0061208.tar.gz

Unpack, make and make install as before. Then running 'spcaview' should show the camera view. If you have a TV card or other video device in the PC you might have to to add something like '-d /dev/video1' to spcaview to get the right video device.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help, I got it working . Make failed for spcaview on my system, but however, I did it with rpm.
