Some time ago SATURN in Germany was selling a WebCam wich namend Dexxa WebCam. I think it's the same like the Logitech QuickCam Express. |

I've gotten it to work with the (newer) QuickCam driver available on the sourceforge site. FOr details: Distro SuSE Linux Professional 8.1 (kernel 2.4.19) running the mod_quickcam.o in /etc/modules.conf edit the line for char-major-81-0 to be the mod_quickcam.o and next line down add your options... I changed the option interpolation=1 for better image quality (at a slight performance hit).I've noticed that the image is green in my area... I've tried tweaking the setting for camserv to no avail. A word to those of you using camserv set the mode to 3 it works better that way. A live feed exists at: http://nordaki.net/livecam/ that will autodetect you're browser and load a stillimage for IE (yuck) and konqueror. Netscape users get a live feed updating every 60 seconds or so... for the unmolested live feed: http://nordaki.net:9192 |

I couldn't get mine working. I run SuSe 8.0 on kernel 2.4.18. The latest CVS compiled okay, but modprobe kept yelling about "unresolved symbols"! The mod_quickcam.o driver that come with the distro loaded fine, but was an older version which didn't support the sensor that I was using. The P/N is (was): 861078-0030 .
It is really all Logitech's fault. They have several different product numbers and sensors for the same camera. Cameras with different hardware shouldn't all be called "Quickcam Express".
Now I have a Veo Stingray and it worked right out of the box ($10 cheaper too). |

probably /dev/video pointing to /dev/video0 or to /dev/video1 if second webcam or video acquiring device like bt8x8 cards. |

i could compile the driver and load it but i can't get a pic out of it ! ):
every app i tries can't find the /dev device . heh what would be the /dev device?
anywhere to get detail instructions to amke it work? |

Well, here is an unusual combo for you. Last night I pulled the SourceForge driver from CVS and managed to get the module version to compile with only a small change to the makefile. Not surprising except that this was on a DEC Alpha platform.
The change was to make the module related header files come from "/usr/src/linux/include/linux" rather than "/usr/include/linux". The former generated a rather nasty warning. Also, during compile, there was a warning about register clobbering during compile that read as follows: "/usr/src/linux/include/asm/current.h:4: warning: call-clobbered register used for global register variable". I'm not even sure this is a quickcam driver problem. It might be somethign wrong with the Linux includes.
Beyond that, the driver worked as was useable with both xawtv and vidcat. I'm looking forward to seeing this in the kernel eventually. |

Hi there,
as developer of that driver i must admit
it's nearly complete now and all read() based
apps like...gqcam, camstream.....work
The newest xawtv doesn't seem to work...somehow
dunno yet
check the driver: sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga
Bye

Here's the page with a driver that'll work with Video4Linux
http://www.sinix.net/paginas/jfchome/linux/quickcam/index.htm
- I tried xawtv package and it works (mostly) and I got the standard V4L command linx utilities (webcam etc) to work (make sure you specify the correct res for the cam - max. 352x288.
I'm running Debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.18pre23 with USB backport. My machine did hang hard once when capturing so use at your own risk.
Overall great thanks to the people developing these drivers great work!
Thanks,
Marcin |

I tried the URL upside. This works !! I could compile it with a 2.2.15 kernel without usb backport |

Compiled and ran the module+binary on 2.4.0-test9
It works and it compiles, only the resulting image has absolutely no sync or color. Could it be I have the "other" chipset? Should the "quickcam" binary complain or detect what chipset you have? Do the two chipsets have different USB IDs? |

Can't compile it. argh. So I have useless cam just sitting there.
Well, thanks to the guys who are working on it! |

Under Mandrake 7.1 (kernel 2.2.15-4mdksmp) had to comment out "owner" in quickcamex.c to get it to compile - checked in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h and found no "owner" in file_operations. No errors or dumps at runtime, but never returns from fd=open("/dev/quick",O_RDWR); in quickcam.c. Any ideas?

Working fine. allthough i needed to change something first, before i could compile it...
but now waiting for someone to write a bttv-driver.... :-)

I too have the USB Logitech QuickCam Express and was unsuccessful in making it work... the above hack does not work for me...
I am running Red Hat Linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.16-21 (with USB support compiled in kernel and Video4Linux support in kernel). USB drivers load fine...

I just tried the quick hack mentioned above and it works perfectly. Too bad it's not a V4L driver, so it could run with camserv or something... Can someone take care of this ? |
