Hi,
I have a EeePC 701 and am running Arch on it for a while. I started with the dkite modules and later switched to the toofishes Kernel. Sometime (don't know exactly when) my webcam support got lost and I have no idea what I am missing.
Trying to enable the camera returns an error:
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera
-bash: /proc/acpi/asus/camera: No such file or directory
In fact I do not have a /proc/acpi/asus directory at all. However other ACPI functions like adjusting the brightness via Fn-F3 works just fine.
I checked that the camera is enabled in the Bios and OS Installation is set to finished.
This is what I currently have installed:
kernel-eee 2.6.27.1-1
madwifi-eee-svn 3866-1
acpi-eee 3-1
Above packages where built from toofishes' git repository two days ago.
Here are a few more installed packages that might be related:
acpid 1.0.6-1
luvcview 20070512-4
The only module I could find in /lib/modules/2.6.27.1eee/ that looks somewhat related is asus-laptop but that doesn't work:
modprobe asus-laptop
FATAL: Error inserting asus_laptop (/lib/modules/2.6.27.1eee/kernel/drivers/misc/asus-laptop.ko): No such device
Here are the modules I currently have loaded:
Module Size Used by
vfat 8448 1
fat 37724 1 vfat
pl2303 14788 0
usbserial 24428 1 pl2303
ath_pci 147064 0
wlan 178932 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 257536 1 ath_pci
I'm grateful for any tip I can get.
Andi

Okay it works . It seems like the proc entry is gone completely because it isn't necessary anymore. Just start luvcview -f yuv to check the camera.
