Can't use my Vimicro Pc Camera

#1 Post by reckrhodes »

These are the details of my camera:

Vendor 0xac8
Product ID 0x307b

How can I test this on my PuppyLinux Dingo v4 (K2.6.25)to function? I want to take some pictures of my friends here! :)

Please help me!

reckrhodes,

this link says that it works with the gspca driver. But I don't know whether anyone has compiled it for pup4-K2.6.25 yet. I'd compile it for you but I've got the wrong kernel...hopefully someone else with K2.6.25 will oblige.

muggins,

Thank you so much for the reply. I have downloaded the file called "gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz" from here http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download ... 224.tar.gz

But i do not know how to compile it for my puppy linux. :oops:

Anyway i will wait for you or somebody to guide me on this. :roll:
