Hi,
i just configured my quickcam webcam with the WIKI pages.
When i try to load the module i get the following message:
[root@famjong allemaal]# modprobe quickcam
FATAL: Module quickcam not found.
I saw that the module was placed here
/lib/modules/2.6.9-ARCH/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/
as i use 2.6.10-ARCH i copied the file (quickcam.ko) to
/lib/modules/2.6.10-ARCH/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/
but this makes no difference.......
anyone got an idea?

maybe running "depmod -a".
you can also load a module refering to the file with insmod
insmod /path/to/file.ko

Pajaro,
i did
depmod -a
and then again
modprobe quickcam
I now get the following error :cry:
FATAL: Error inserting quickcam (/lib/modules/2.6.10-ARCH/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/quickcam.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg output:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
quickcam: Unknown symbol remap_page_range

I have find this kind of errors (not finding something) when the drivers are for another version of the kernel. Check if there's a driver update.

I downloaded the driver from this place:
http://xentac.net/tur/tags/staging/qc-usb26/
It works now, but............................ only as root.
I can't get the permissions right for a normal user.
I added this line to /etc/devfsd.conf:
# Give normal users access to webcam
REGISTER video0 PERMISSIONS root.users 0660
But that doesn't work :?
