Logitech Webcam not working
Kind of says it all..

bash-3.1$ /sbin/lsusb

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046e:5542 Behavior Tech. Computer Corp.
So device is 046d:08d9

My Logitech webcams usually work well with the uvcvideo driver. Have you tried that?

From what I understand, it's not a uvc cam.
What do I need to do (Step by step) to get this to work?
13 64bit, full, multilib, default kernel, skype 2.0

Other threads mention libv4l1 compat.so. I d/l, slackbuilt it, and now it's in /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
Using
Code:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
does not work.
I'm assuming I have a 32-bit skype. How do I get the 32bit 4vl1compat.so?

I think we should try to diagnose Skype issues separately from webcam issues. Don't use skype to test if the camera works, because you may be working on the wrong solution. When you plug the camera in, if it works there should be a /dev/video0 or something like that.
I think you might want to try this slackbuild if it won't build properly:

There is a /dev/video0, skype (Actually, ALL vid apps see the dev), but only output is a green, static filled screen.
It's a 'well known' issue, which is why I asked about the 32 bit compat lib. I can't find it. Ideas?

http://slackware.org.uk/3rd-party/alien/multilib/README
Does that multi lib have any to do with what you seek?
BTW when yet more 'round to its befall onto me is when I'll do that multi lib on my 13.0 64 bit.

What's strange is that it is loading 'gspca_main' instead of just 'gspca', do try the slackbuild.

And, no, not really. I did follow his guide to make this multilib, tho.
I was figuring since the 64bit compat doesn't work, maybe the 32bit one will.
And it works MARVELOUS And was VERY easy |

Gave up. Installed VirtualBox, and it runs XP and the cam fine...
So, solved for now...
