Guest dysxhi Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi All, This is my first vist to this site and I find this site as useful as Mandrivaclub for MandrivaLinux users. I have installed a Creative VistaPlus Webcam on My Home PC having LE2005 Powerpack for i586 up-to-date with latest cooker. The hardrake is sensing this correctly with the name but with module as "unknown". Please guide me which driver/module and how) I should install to make use my webcam on Mandriva Linux. Thanks in advance. Regards Dhananjaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hello Dhananjaya, if I understand your question correctly you could try a 'modprobe ovcamchip' and see if that works. Should it do so you can add the line to your /etc/modprobe.preload. This is the only way I could get my Creative webcam to work in LE2005. Your will still get errors listed in the log files but the camera may work. It's not a fix, rather a work around. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dysxhi Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 if I understand your question correctly you could try a 'modprobe ovcamchip' and see if that works. I tried but it is not working. I have read somewhere else that Creative Vista /VistaPlus is Win-Only webcam. I am planning to change it with "Logitech QuickCam Express" which is shown as Compatible with MandrivaLinux. Shall I go far for it?
