I'm trying to get two webcams to work at the same time. Both are on the
same USB bus. Is this even possible.
One is a cpia ezcam USB, the second one is a ibm xirlink
I can get both of them to work (just not simultaneously). The ibm xirlink
is closer while the ezcam is two hubs away.
I have created /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 with /dev/video being a symlink
/dev/video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 3 02:56 /dev/video -> /dev/video0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 81, 0 Jul 3 02:56 /dev/video0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 81, 1 Jul 3 02:52 /dev/video1
All this is running linuxppc with a 2.4.0test backport to 2.2.17pre6.
Any ideas and suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Ram
