Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000

I got a Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 yesterday.

I found it in this list of drivers: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html
In the bottom. But I can't get it working.

There are a few chipsets floating around for Logitech cameras. Did you check the chipset ID or just the camera model name in the lists? I have the Quick Cam Pro for Notebooks and it's working perfectly with the uvcvideo driver.

I downloaded the drivers, compiled it and installed it. And it does not work.

I got no /dev/video0

And. Your camera have the same bridge as mine.

Re: Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000

pacman -S linux-uvc-svn && modprobe uvcvideo

That is what you did, right?

Also, make sure that you're member of the group "video".

I think it's something with my v4l.

elis@Sighild:~$ v4l-info
open /dev/video0: No such device

Or my /dev/video0

I'm quite sure that there's some relevant output in dmesg, if 'modprobe uvcvideo' didn't throw an error.

I used:

# pacman -S linux-uvc-svn && modprobe uvcvideo

It didn't work first. It just broke my USB drivers. My install was lika 3 mounths so I reinstalled my Arch and tryed again.

A pakage I installed too to get it working was xf86-video-v4l
For the video4linux in my camera.
