Hi, I'm new to all this, so please be patient.
My webcam is plugged in (USB) and is recognised, but won't work. Help?
My lsusb output:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0c45:6310 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera
But it won't show up on the computer... _________________ I'm a newbie, so please explain clearly.
Thanks,
Naomi |

nomeenichols,
Welcome to Gentoo. A new thread for a new problem.
Your camera is a 0c45:6310, thats the vendor and device ID.
Google thinks that is a uvc device, so your need USB support and uvc support in your kernel.
In August 2011, there were known issues with your camera.
Build UVC support as a module <M> in your kernel. Exactly how you do that depends on how your made your kernel in the first place.
With genkernel, or manually? _________________ Regards,

how did you test it?
there should be special video device /dev/video for video capturing. |

Thank you. I thought I may need to do something like that. My dad built the kernel, a long time ago. Manually I think. But he is busy, so is not able to help. :/ _________________ I'm a newbie, so please explain clearly.

nomeenichols,
Please use wgetpaste to put your kernel .config file onto a pastebin site.
If you don't have wgetpaste, you will need to emerge it.
will teach you to use it.
The kernel .config file should be at /usr/src/linux/.config
Tell us the URL you get back from wgetpaste.
If you are lucky, its a question of adding things as loadable modules to your existing kernel, which is much easier than building and installing a new kernel. _________________ Regards,
