 |
|
Hi. I am trying to install a webcam, the problem is I have no idea what kind of device it is. The specification just says "HD Webcam (30fps@720p)" (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70_2OD.html#hero-specification).
I tried to install every kernel module from "> Device Drivers > Multimedia Support > " but it still dont work:

The thing with no name (Bus 003 Device 006) is my mouse and both "Intel Corp." are marked as: "bInterfaceProtocol 0 Full speed (or root) hub"
Is there a way to identify the device and find a driver for it?
edit:
dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/qzXYqXxi
Those lines seem fishy to me, May it be related to camera?:

You best check the web for the output of your camera.
I usually plug off a new device and run
lspci lsusb lshw
tail -f /var/log/messages
dmesg
Save all data
plug in teh new device
and run it again and compare.
usually these are usb devices and you get some sort of new code xxxx:xxxx. search teh web for it and check the wiki for linuxuvc or what it was called. please note webcam support is poor and there are so many different ways to handle a webcam. Mostly you are out of luck ...
Search for linuxuvc |

| I know that, thats how I recognized that the empty thing is my mouse. But the webcam is build in and its impossible to disconnect it without disassembling my laptop and loosing warranty, if its even possible to disconnect it when computer is turned on. |

Did you try enabling your webcam with FN+F? (maybe FN+F6) ?
Can you look at lsusb -v |

most build in webcams are usb ones.
anyway lsusb lshw lsusb should show it... if you have a kernel which is not too restricted. you need some build in modules, check the wiki for linuxuvc or what it was called for the webcams |

| Thx for help, it was as simple as doing "modprobe uvcvideo" and it worked. But why I had to modprobe it manually, shouldnt the kernel load this driver automatically when loading drivers for all devices? |
