[Bug 22070] Re: Logitech Quickcam Messenger is not usable

[Maurice]

Based on some positive reports in our community forums, I purchased a
Logitech Quickam Messenger webcam.  I have now spent nearly two days
exploring every solution my feeble mind can think of!  I have come to
the following conclusions, all this under a fully updated Feisty:

1.spcaxx cource code downloaded from Synaptic will not compile, at least
I haven't had any success so far

2 EasyCam2 downloaded from Synaptic will not work, a makefile error
message is displayed on startup

3. Ekiga will not recognize the webcam, although it shows up in Feisty's
Hardware listing.

4.qc-usb-messenger-1.6 will not compile

5. The error messages thrown by the latter indicate that my computer, an
HP Pavillion Media Centre, suffers from a BIOS APIC error 40.

I wonder whether this APIC error is what is causing the compile
difficulties with the other source listings?  Is it not possible to do a
noapic boot?

If only I could fix the APIC error, I believe life would become much
more simple!  Many thanks, Maurice
