[gentoo-amd64] Webcam

[Sergio Polini]

My HP dv2000 laptop has an integrated webcam.
I've installed the driver 
(http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/uvc/uvcvideo-r75.tar.gz) 
and videoview, a binary program 
(http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/), in an Ubuntu, 32 bit, 
partition, and the cam works.
Then I've intstalled uvcvideo in my Gentoo AMD64 partition, I get the 
device /dev/video0:

uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 Camera (0c45:62c0)
usbcore: registered new driver uvcvideo
USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)

but I can't find any program that works (I've tried gqcam, motion, 
camstream, xawtv).

Any hints?

Thanks
Sergio

Hello,

No idea about the uvcvideo, but I have an integrated webcam on an "old" SOny 
Picturebook and had to add a few lines in modules.conf (the distro in also an 
old one :) and start xawtv with the -c option (I'd guess you did this as 
well, but just to make sure, because on it's own xawtv does not find the 
camera).

My xawtv does find the camera, and the led coupled to i turns on for a 
moment and then turns off. And I read:

This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.18-serpol-r4)

Add dga to USE in your make.conf file, then rebuild v4l.

Thanks, but it doesn't work.
