I have been trying to get my webcam to work. The built in microphone works fine but no video. I have trawled various forums and Google and tried just about everything suggested.
I am running 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64
I have listed below various outputs. Does the fact that dmesg shows the camera controller detected as SN9C103 and later shows usbcore registering the interface driver as sn9c102 have any bearing?
One forum suggested downloading the 32 bit driver as skype was 32 bit but that didn't work either.
Anyone got any further suggestions or do I just accept that this particular camera is not going to work. The v4l2 tool doesn't find a driver but
http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html lists it as not tested (see below).
Selected output from dmesg

Information from
http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html shows my camera as not tested but another with the same subdriver and sensor as OK
Subdriver Id Name Sensor Status

One suggestion was to preload the libraries
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama
[root@FSLServer ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so camorama
[root@FSLServer ~]# camorama
all the above resulted in this error message
Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).
Please check connection

resulted in the same error message
