Need help with 3Com HomeConnect webcam under Fedora
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2004 3:32 am
I'm using Fedora 1 linux and I can't get my 3Com HomeConnect webcam to work with it. This is what I've tried so far:
1) run "modprobe vicam" to load the vicam module (vicam is the same webcam model)
2) "lsmod | grep -i vicam" produces the following output:
vicam 13752 0 (unused)
usbvideo 27184 0 [vicam]
videodev 8288 0 [vicam usbvideo]
usbcore 78368 1 [vicam usbvideo hid]
3) run "xawtv -hwscan"
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
looking for available devices
port 61-61
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : NV Video Overlay
4) run "xawtv"
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available
Any ideas on why I can't get the webcam to be recognized by xawtv? I'm trying to get the webcam to work with xawtv first before I try running Zoneminder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
