Web Cam - Logitech

[Bram]

Hey there, I would like to use GNOMEMEETING, but Fedora did not detect my USB Logitech 4000 web cam... any idea on how to fix this?

P.S. - It has a built in mic which I used to use to make netmeeting calls.. will this work under Fedora?

Hi there
I have also a Logitech webcam, and on my website I have some tips. SO visited http://home.wanadoo.nl/m.b.harskamp and then click on the link MY LINUX STORY there you will find the install and software I use with my Logitech webcam.

Thanx, but the instructions you link to are no longer there... Im a nooobie and am pretty determined, but also a little lost...

I wish there was some sort of setup file for this :S

I see, the link doesn't works, sorry for that, but the only thing you have to do, is download the qce-ga <version>.tar.gz file

read the INSTALL and/or README, when you have a kernel with Video for Linux support, you only have to do is run the ./quickcam.sh script

succes

Thanx, I ran the script but it didnt work as I am missing libraries or something... is there a way that I can use either yum or up2date (which crashes) to fetch all of these things for me?

[clavan]

I think that is not possible. You should look which libraries you are missing, and install them by hand. And after that run the script again.

On this page, this is the driver for your webcam :

qce-usb or qce_cga doesn't work with your webcam
