|
|
Hey, can someone please help me figure out what I should do?
I've got an inbuilt camera on my Dell Vostro 1320,
(lsusb)
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0c45:63e0 Microdia Sonix Integrated Webcam
I've added the uvc and gspca, the linux firmware on portage, and whatever I can see that remotely looks like it could work apart from some deprecated v4l stuff and I still don't get /dev/video
does it change anything if I only add them as modules?
here's the atrocious config I've created:

thanks.

paramnesioid,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You seem to be on the right track. What makes you think your webcam needs firmware?
With linux-firmare installed and the drivers made as kernel built ins, the firmware will not load.
This would give you error messages in dmesg.
Google suggests that at least one kernel version has a problem with your webcam and the workaround is to remove the module then reload it.
Of course, you need to make the UVC driver as a module to be able to do this. _________________ Regards,

thanks NeddySeagoon!
I made everything webcam-related into modules and disabled anything V4L I added and it worked. |
