Creative webcam "Live! Cam Vista IM" not working

#1 Post by neurino »

I'm using Wary030 and I can't get my webcam, a Creative Live! Cam Vista IM to work.

I know it's a not well supported piece of hardware so any adivce is welcome, on ubuntu forums seems to work something like this:

Code: Select all

svn co svn://rastageeks.org/svn/ov51x-jpeg/trunk ...
...
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.22-14-386
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ov51x-jpeg
the svn link is broken but source is downloadable here

thanks
