| Code: | | open /dev/video0: No such file or directory |
and spcaview:
| Code: |
Spcaview version: 1.1.8 date: 25:12:2007 (C) mxhaard@magic.fr

I have recompiled the kernel again with those drivers installed as modules. After that i have
| Code: |
$ groups
wheel cron audio cdrom ftp video usb users portage |
| Code: | $ lsusb

I tried modprobe gspca_spca5xx and gspca_sunplus one by one, but still there is no video0 in /dev. I also tried uvcvideo, no luck. The wiki said if I use udev, there should exist /dev/v4l/video0, but I don't even have /dev/v4l. |
