Webcam Issues

Hi,

 

I've got a cheap digital dream l'elegante camera which can also provide a webcam output on USB.

 

Once I have the resources I am intending to replace this with a Hauppauge WinTV USB TV Tuner connected to the AV output of my Kodak. But until then...

 

The digital dream l'elegante will work on NetMeeting, but I can't seem to get it to work in Linux.

 

I tried Gnomemeeting, but this just seemed to lock up. I have also tried xawtv. From this I get the error "open /dev/video0: No such device" which according to the FAQ means "The device doesn't exist. Means there is no driver module for the hardware loaded yet. Fix your hardware setup."

 

So, how do I fix my hardware set up? Has anybody else managed to get this camera to work.

 

Also to note, gphoto didn't like the camera either, although it did recognise it.

 

Thanks in advance.
