Hi everybody! Im having trouble with my Genius webcam. Its model is VideoCAM Look.

Im new at linux,Im using Mandrake 2005 limited edition and the problem is that when I connect my web camera , it turns on the activity light but thats all, any program cant recognize it.
In fact, also my printer does not work, so I think that my problem is with the USB driver or sometthing related
When I use the command lsusb, the information that I got is
[root@localhost erick]# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04a9:1098 Canon, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:60b0 Microdia
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Notice that Canon is the printer and Microdia is the camera.


Someone told me that I could download a patch for my kernell to be updated, so thats what I did.
I downloaded the patch-2.2.16 , so I tried to install in order to replace my kernell version (2.6.11-6mdk) but Im not sure if it is goig to work.

I copied the patch to this directory: /usr/src/linux
and them I typed: patch -p1 < patch-2.2.16.

Thats all. I dont know how to proceed or to continue with this.

I will appreciate any advice!

Thanks!
