Guest cb122 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hello all finally got 9.1 installed and in the process of setting up my hard ware i notced that my usb webcam(creative webcam 3 with ov511 chip) was not being recognized or even powering up. I know that the cam works with slack 8.1 and kernel 2.4.19 but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it recognized with mdk. I have enabled it in the kernel. I am at a loss any one know anything els I can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Is the device recognized? Can you post the output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MottS Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 How were you accessing the device in Slackware. Or with which program? Was it emulated as a scsi device or not? http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...8&highlight=cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cb122 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I was accessing it with camorama and gnomemeeting. it was recognized as a ov11 usb cam thru /dev/video0 it's not important that I use this just wondered why it would not work with mandrake when it worked with slack out of the box. I have googled this problem and cannot find any thing as to why it's not working. I compiled usb-uhci into the kernel and insmoded the ov511 driver. I have a usb printer which was recognized immediately which rules out the usb hub on the mobo. I guess it is just an incompatibility issue with mandrake.
