Hi,
I am trying to get my WebCamII work with USB driver.
I used to work with old parallel port version of this
camera. My machine is Pentium II (Klamath) with 128MB.
I was able to get 2.3.99-pre5 kernel working and \
configured the cpia driver inside the kernel:
CONFIG_VIDEO_BWQCAM=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CQCAM=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_PP=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_USB=y
Following the discussion I create shm directory in the
/var directory and mounted it :
mount -t shm none /var/shm
Then I successfully configured and compiled my files.
However, when I started to run gqcam executable, it complained:
/dev/video: No such device
Actually, such a device exists, but it does not have major number:
#ls -l vid*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 31 05:35 video -> video0
crw------- 1 nikom root 81, 0 Jan 28 16:59 video0
crw------- 1 nikom root 81, 1 Jan 28 16:59 video1
Should I create new video device using mknod command?
I am not sure what else has to be done to make it work.
I would appreciate any help.
Regards,
