I just purchased a Logitech QuickCam Express camera and while it
works under Windows I can't get it recognized under FC5. When I run camE
it tells me /dev/video0: no such device, even though it exists and has
81,0 as major, minor device number. I tried downloading and modprobing
quickcam drivers, spca5xx drivers and pwc drivers and they load but to no
avail. camstream doesn't know the device and won't give me any video. I am
running core 5, 512MB ram, 80GB HD with USB 2.0. Toshiba Satellite PC.
Anyone else gotten the QuickCam Express working under FC5? Thanks in
advance.

Hi,
Here are a few links you can check out to get your webcam working:

FWIW, I used the first (two) link to get mine working...

PS: Considering the popularity of these webcams I wonder if they might be
included as loadable modules in some future version of Fedora?
