Re: setting a spca5xx webcam under sarge?


What I already did was:
- Test the webcam in a virtual win in the same machine: test ok.




what do you mean by this?


I mean, I tested the camera in a vmware windows install, in the same
computer.

why don't you try one of the other tools to view it before you start
heading off on tangents. I've had success with camstream and gqcam. In
one, if not both of them (not at my machine right now), you have to
close the camera window and re-open a new one to get an image. worth a
shot. another you could try is motion. its strictly cli, but will
generate a whole mess of jpg's and avi's when you move in front of the
camera.

A


Will try them right away.
