Ubuntu - webcam issues, help?

[joecool85]

Hey guys, I'm running an x86 box with Ubuntu 6.06 and I'm trying to get my webcam (Logitech QuickCam Chat) to work on it. So far I have installed the easyspca drivers which are suppose to work for that camera, as well as installed Camorama. When I boot Camorama I get:

"Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).
Please check connection."

It seems everything I need is installed except the video0 file...Any idea on how to install a video0 file?

Well, I got some new drivers and got it working. Only thing is I can't get it above 176x144 res...grr.

At least it is working now. If anyone wants to see it, the address is: http://webcam.thatraymond.com

It's a driveway cam 🙂

I emailed the guys doing Camorama and got back a response, now it works!

I just had to use some -x -y flags from terminal, just type in: camorama -x 320 -y 240 and it works.

Score.
