Microsoft Webcam on x86_64

dr0p · 2009-01-01 04:31:38

Well I'm trying to get my Lifecam VX-3000 to work on x86_64 but I can't find any driver for it at all, even a x86 one. The device id lsusb reveals is "045e:00f5". Any help?

Judging from all of the Google hits that I got, it looks as if using the gspcav1 module may work for you. Either that or the gspca module. I believe that they're both built into the kernel now.

could u give more details about the lsusb out put give the whole readout so it would be easier to help u.

well it seems as though the gspca are the correct drivers for this webcam but ppl were getting a garbled image with it

i came up with this link about the your web cam saying not supported but strange its giving a mixed review so give it a try

Have you tried just plugging in the webcam and using it? I was given a Lifecam-somethingrather, and recent kernels load the proper module automatically when I plug it in.

have you add yourself to the video group?
What's the dmesg message when you plug in the webcam?
Maybe you need the libv4l package.
