Logitech QuickCam for Notebook Deluxe

Hi, would appreciate if someone know how to setup the Logitech QuickCam for Notebook Deluxe...

Below is output from 'lsusb' and 'lsmod', I have no idea how to continue from there...

Thank you :-)

The camera is listed here as supported:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

So I would install the spca drivers, I believe Alien Bob has some packages here, or you can use the slackbuild:

Hi, thanks.

I had installed the package from Alien Bob and reboot my laptop. But the webcam still not working, from 'lsmod', the module 'gspca_main' doesn't load when I plug the usb webcam to my laptop, and nothing happen after I manually run the command 'modprobe gspca_main' too.

Here is the output from '/var/log/messages' when I disconnect and connect the usb webcam:

Code:

And output from 'lsmod':

Both quickcam_messenger & gspca_main are manually load by myself...

What version of slackware are you using ?

The module should be 'gspca' not 'gspca_main'. I would blacklist 'gspca_main', and try to modprobe 'gspca' instead.

Hi, I tried 'modprobe gspca' and got this error:

Code:

FATAL: Module gspca not found.

I am using Slackware 12.2, but I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.29.2 and I can only see gspca_main.ko here:

Code:

[root][/lib/modules/2.6.29.2-smp/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca]# ls

gspca_main.ko

[root][/lib/modules/2.6.29.2-smp/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca]#

But in 2.6.27.7-smp, there are more modules:

Code:

root][/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca]# ls

gspca_conex.ko  gspca_main.ko  gspca_ov519.ko  gspca_pac7311.ko  gspca_sonixj.ko  gspca_spca501.ko  gspca_spca506.ko  gspca_spca561.ko  gspca_sunplus.ko  gspca_tv8532.ko  gspca_zc3xx.ko

gspca_etoms.ko  gspca_mars.ko  gspca_pac207.ko  gspca_sonixb.ko  gspca_spca500.ko  gspca_spca505.ko  gspca_spca508.ko  gspca_stk014.ko  gspca_t613.ko    gspca_vc032x.ko

[root][/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca]#

Hi, I found the gspca.ko. It is not in 2.6.29.2-smp but in 2.6.27.7-smp:

Code:

[root][~]# find /lib/modules/ -name gspca.ko -print

/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko

[root][~]#

So can I just copy it to 2.6.29.2-smp and run 'insmod gspca.ko'?

Since you are not running the stock kernel you cannot use Alien Bob's packages, you can either use the slackbuild or compile it yourself from source.

Hi, okay. I will try to compile it, thanks.
