It isn't there
Try

It shows driver: bttv,
card:BT878Video (LeadtekWinfast 20),

You can keep querying /dev/video devices until you
get the right one for your quickcam.
I queried v4l-info /dev/video*, but the qiockcam is
NOT there.
Make sure that the usb device was found as well.
usbtree can be used, I think. You can also browse
/proc/bus/usb to see if it's there. dmesg is your
friend as well as /var/log/messages.
I browsed /proc/bus/usb and found "Total 0" there.
Further I queried :
" $ cat /var/log/messages |grep video & the result
is:
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver usbfs
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver hub
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver
quickcam
spca50x: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel
tainted.
spca50x: no version magic, tainting kernel.
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver spca50x
/opt/spca532-25052004/drivers/usb/spca50x.c: spca5xx
driver 0.50 registered. "
once you found your webcam's /dev/video? location,
you can probably override the v4l device that's used
by gnomemeeting or GIMP.
I did : $ v4l-conf /dev/video1 & got :
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
dga: version 2.0
mode: 800x600, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=3200,
base=0xd7000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: configuration done .
For example, using xawtv, I have to do
$xawtv -c /dev/video1
I tried this and only TV display was there.
Then # lsmod showed these modules :

spca50x 140832 0

I am confused with these messages.Any clues with
these inputs, please.
