The spca40x is, I believe the outdated one. Do not mix gspca1 from
mxhaard.free.fr and gspca1.kmdl from atrpms. Both are available from
atrpms.
gspca1-kmdl is the module, gspca1 is only the doc (one file: Changelog)
rpm -qlp gspcav1-1.00.04-2.fc5.at.i386.rpm
/usr/share/doc/gspcav1-1.00.04
/usr/share/doc/gspcav1-1.00.04/changelog
rpm -qlp gspcav1-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5-1.00.04-2.fc5.at.i686.rpm

Where did you find that info? I haven't seen it.
I'm using FC6, and the two packages I have installed are
gspcav1.i386 1.00.04-2.fc6.at
gspcav1-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686 1.00.04-2.fc6.at
I have been reading this thread and saving it for a few days until I
could try this webcam. I show the following yum installs in this
mornings log, the result of yesterdays install, however 'locate gspcav1'
produces only an rpm and two doc files? I have no assurance that they
are actually installed other than the log report? [Rpm -Uvh gspcav1
reports that it's already installed?]
Packages Installed:
gspcav1.i386 1.00.04-2.fc6.at
gspcav1-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686 1.00.04-2.fc6.at
lsusb yields:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:0701 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
So apparently the camera is connected.
I searched yumex for 'webcam' and cam up with 'camE' I asked it to
install along with whatever else looked like it might be useful.
CamE has no man page, only a sample configuration file with notations
which leave me with some uncertainty. Perhaps there is something better
I should use?
Running camE without the configuration file produces the error message
that it can not find /dev/video and neither can I.
I'm not sure exactly what to ask at this point but any suggestions are
welcomed.
