Hi, im running slackware 8 with 2.4.10 and i have a usb logitech quickcam express and ive been trying everything to make it work and no
cigar. Im using the qce-ga driver. This is what i have loaded. i have all of the modul;es loaded i think

Module Size Used by
mod_quickcam 31984 0 (unused)
uhci 23680 0 (unused)
usbcore 49856 0 [mod_quickcam uhci]
videodev 4960 0 [mod_quickcam]

i think that should be it, now when i try and run xawtv and take a shot i get this
root@box3:/home/meth/qce-ga-0.40b# xawtv -c /dev/video0

This is xawtv-3.62, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.10)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available

and it's the same for ALL of the /dev/video's

does anyone have any ideas or any other packages that i should use?

I checked my /dev and found I have video0 though I do not have any devices that would use it.

First verify that /dev/video0 and /dev/video do not exist.

If video and video0 do not exist, then

mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0

chmod 666 /dev/video0

ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video

Here's a link I used to get my quickcam express working using MDK 8.0.
