Hi,
I just got a Philips PCVC740K webcam for a project in school, but I
can't seem to get it to work.
I plugged it in and I get the following from dmesg:
[13464.654999] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 3
[13464.939389] pwc Philips PCVC740K (ToUCam Pro)/PCVC840 (ToUCam II) USB
webcam detected.
[13465.341852] pwc Registered as /dev/video0.
This seems good. As root I start gnomemeeting (to test) and it finds the
camera when using v4l. All seems good except all I get is a flat gray image.
Does anybody know how to get this webcam to work? It should have very
good linux support so I thought it would just work(tm).
/Søren
BTW I'm using an up2date Breezy
