Hi,
I am trying to set my computer to use a web camera (this function
doesn't work actually with cheese, for example).
With this program (cheese) I can see images by the camera, but when I
shot an image, then the image that appears in the window of shot images
is blank...
I read the document The Webcam HOWTO (at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Webcam-HOWTO/) and I tried to do
what wrote there, but I hadn't success...
Can I get an concrete help to achieve my purpose ?
That depends. What do you have for a webcam?
according to "lsusb", I have a:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV2640
Webcam
Near as I can tell, This uses the uvcvideo driver, as I have the
following modules loaded:
uvcvideo 90112 0
dell_laptop 20480 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 16384 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 16384 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_v4l2 28672 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_core 36864 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_v4l2
v4l2_common 16384 1 videobuf2_v4l2
videodev 167936 4 uvcvideo,v4l2_common,videobuf2_core,videobuf2_v4l2
media 24576 2 uvcvideo,videodev
And, now I'll say: "It works for me".
What do you have?
Thank you
Angelo
