I have Gentoo-Sources-2.6.27-r8, and the device is listed in the documentation
Code: Select all
video4linux/gspca.txt:zc3xx 046d:08ae Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks
The device gets created when i plug in the camera after i load the zc3xx module. However, I'm still having problems with it. Not exactly sure what's going on. Here's the rundown:
spcaview:[/code]
Not entirely sure if this program is supposed to be able to use the zc3xx driver, but it doesn't work anyways. It shows fuzz. Here's the output:

Skype seems to work as long as I run it with:
Code: Select all
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
Granted, that's with libv4l installed.
Still haven't bothered trying to get the audio working
Life is nothin' but a funny funny riddle.
