Re: Cant get my webcam, to work :/ (OmniVision) *SOLVED*

Go through the '.c' files in the ov51x-<what ever version you have> directory, and comment out or delete the first #include <linux/config.h>. That file no longer exists in newer kernels. The version that I built my webcam drivers is ov51x-jpeg-0.5.4. Their devs should have done this. If you read down through the files, you'll see a bunch of conditional statements for different kernels that should have handled this.

It looks like it installed correctly, but when i try to load the modules, no luck hmm

[root@boX ov51x-jpeg-0.5.4]# modprobe ov51x
FATAL: Module ov51x not found.

Sorry to bother again, but did you do anything else to install this drivers?? like you mencionet, im olso trying whit the 0.5.4 version, im very new to linux, just need a little more direcction if you dont mind : )

Re: Cant get my webcam, to work :/ (OmniVision) *SOLVED*

Use the insmod option. For my camera, as root I used:

insmod ov51x.ko
insmod ov519_decomp.ko

Then in modules array in rc.conf, I added:

MODULES=(ov51x ov519_decomp)

If you're manually building additional modules, depmod -a should fix the problem with it not being found.

That jogged my last brain cell. I went back to the page and found (remembered) the newer driver:

http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/ov5 … ta1.tar.gz

Then the make, make install, depmod -a

John... you're basically good in my book <<johnisbasicallygood>>
