Re: Webcam & xsane in 8.10RC

Thanks for the reply. dmesg told me nothing. Thought things would be
better supported than worse? Ive got another couple of years support on
Hardy so i will go back to that thanks.

Get the latest snapshot. Seems to have support for your webcam.

Have you tried the webcam in Cheese ?
If you don't have it - sudo apt-get install cheese
Try it in cheese first.

Hi , have just installed 64bit 8.10RC and having problem with Philips SPC
900NC webcam not working and Scanner not working. When i start xsane the
webcam light comes on, and the xsane window says "Philips SPC900NC" instead
of "Lide 20" for my scanner. It seems like the webcam and scanner programs
have got mixed somehow? The webcam and Scanner both work perfectly in
Hardy. Wonder if anyone can enlighten me please?
Thanks Jeff

Hey Jeff

In 8.04 Ubuntu uses gspca V1 for a lot of cams. gspca V1 is no longer
maintained. So, I think Ubuntu uses gspca V2 in the 8.10 release. gspca
V2 is a rewrite of the gspca V1 module to fit to the v4l2 interface.
Therefor not all cams which were working in gspca V1 do work in gspca V2 :-(

What shows the kernel log (dmesg) when you plug the cam and use a viewer
app.

Thomas
