Instructions:
- Find your camera on the driver list
- Grab a recent kernel (2.6.27+ will do)
- Remember the subdriver name that matches your webcam, mine is zc3xx.
- Configure your kernel:
- Device Drivers —>
- Multimedia devices —>
- <*> Video For Linux
- [*] Video capture adapters —>
- V4L USB devices —>
- <M> GSPCA based webcams —>
- <M> ZC3XX USB Camera Driver
- <M> GSPCA based webcams —>
- V4L USB devices —>
- Multimedia devices —>
- Device Drivers —>
- Decide whether you want it build in or as a module and compile the kernel
- Check using ‘ dmesg’ after plugging in if it worked:
gspca: main v2.4.0 registered usbcore: registered new interface driver zc3xx zc3xx: registered usb 4-2.3: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9 usb 4-2.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice gspca: probing 046d:08d7 zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000 zc3xx: probe sensor -> 11 zc3xx: Find Sensor HV7131R(c) gspca: probe ok gspca: probing 046d:08d7 gspca: probing 046d:08d7
If you see a similar output to the above, everything *should* work.
