else use v4l2-tool to find out in GUI

Code: 
# yum install v4l2-tool
Remove Previous version of uvcvideo
Code: 
# rmmod -v uvcvideo

Installing uvc-linux
webcam listed here
Code: 
# yum install kernel-devel gcc glibc-devel subversion
Code: 
# mkdir linux-uvc;cd linux-uvc; svn checkout [url]http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk[/url]

Edit Makefile:
Code: 
INSTALL_MOD_DIR    := /kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc
Code: 
# make uvcvideo
Code: 
# make install
Code: 
# mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
Code: 
# chmod a+r /dev/video0

has anyone been lucky with installing drivers for the SP2208WFP
it uses a omnivision cam..
i tried installing the drivers... but no luck..
Driver Page
 
Eh? It uses a creative webcam. I just installed the drivers two days ago (in Windows, which automatically detected the need for Creative drivers and got them for me too).
 
Can't say about driver ? But how you are trying to use the cam in Linux? If you don't know try cheese.. a new Gnome Program which allows you to record/capture snaps.. Apart from that if you want to use Webcam in messaging .. Try Kopete or Skype .. Gnome in their current release deosn't have Webcam support !

How you re trying to install it ? Try this/

Code: 
1.Extract the Archive.

2.Copy the location of the folder.

3.Open Terminal and do this [B]cd path of the folder[/B]

4. [B]./configure[/B]

5. [B]make[/B] 

6. [B]sudo make install[/B]
 
i just need to get the driver sorted out.. should appear as one of the devices.. (like /dev/video0)
bout the apps.. i have plenny including cheese n skype.. but they depend on the driver loaded..

n m pretty well versed with ./configure make make install... but the issue here is that, the module needs to be loaded into the kernel..
the kernel source directory needs to be added into the makefile..
couldnt find a proper one until i installed kernel-devel
now, i did tht too.. no luck
even installed modified drivers i found somewhere..

how do i get it to appear as one of my devices?

how do i kno which is the device, in /dev
 
most of the webcams are supported with gspca module.

my logitech quickcam works kind of OK with this driver.but when I tried a M$haft Lifecam vx-1000 ,the quality was pathetic. :|

in ubuntu ,you can install this module for your current kernel version using apt-get or synaptic.

Code: 
sudo apt-get install gspca-modules-`uname -r`
