my webcam isnt working and i've done everything i could think of. I installed the v4l drivers and they installed perfectly and still it doesnt work.
my camera is the Suyin Corp. now then, i looked up the list of supported devices for the uvc drivers and my camera is on there. so i built the v4l device driver because my camera comes up as V4L2. so I just made that assumption to do so. and still no, I'm trying to use the camera for an in-browser site called stickam. anyway, so the drivers are definitely there.Code:psych@ubuntu:~$ lsusb Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 064e:a103 Suyin Corp.

so if anyone could help, i would really appreciate it.Code:psych@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /dev/v4l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 2011-05-09 05:50 by-id drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 2011-05-09 05:50 by-path psych@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /dev/video* crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2011-05-09 05:50 /dev/video0
edit1:
if you notice in the above terminal output to the lsmod command, v4l2_compat_ioctl32 is what i assume to be my camera, its being used by videodev and videodev is being used by uvcvideo but uvcvideo, the driver i NEED to use is being use by nothing -.-Code:psych@ubuntu:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by binfmt_misc 17565 1 joydev 17606 0 parport_pc 36959 0 ppdev 17113 0 snd_hda_codec_realtek 336693 1 rt2860sta 543010 0 snd_hda_intel 33211 4 uvcvideo 71391 0 arc4 12529 2 snd_hda_codec 103804 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13604 1 snd_hda_codec videodev 96656 1 uvcvideo snd_pcm 96625 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec media 21344 1 videodev snd_seq_midi 13324 0 rt2800pci 18535 0 rt2800lib 45181 1 rt2800pci crc_ccitt 12667 2 rt2860sta,rt2800lib rt2x00pci 14322 1 rt2800pci snd_rawmidi 30486 1 snd_seq_midi rt2x00lib 49235 3 rt2800pci,rt2800lib,rt2x00pci mac80211 294370 3 rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00lib snd_seq_midi_event 14899 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 61621 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event fglrx 2739144 142 snd_timer 29602 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq psmouse 73535 0 snd_seq_device 14462 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq v4l2_compat_ioctl32 16728 1 videodev serio_raw 13166 0 jmb38x_ms 17596 0 cfg80211 178528 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211 eeprom_93cx6 12725 1 rt2800pci memstick 16520 1 jmb38x_ms snd 67382 16 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 12680 1 snd snd_page_alloc 18529 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm video 19438 0 lp 17825 0 parport 46458 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp sdhci_pci 13989 0 sdhci 27387 1 sdhci_pci r8169 48022 0
idk if this is the problem or im just really dumb because im just a newbie at this. i really have no clue what i should do to get my cam running, but if you can help me thatd be great.
