Users / Problem with usb cameras -how to make template?

« on: April 04, 2009, 11:04:37 pm »

Hi!

Lets start this question with the fact that i am absolutely new to linux and lmce.. But I like it!

As I have three usb cameras, and can not get any of them to function, I would really be happy if someone could help me, and explain exactly how to make a template for the most advanced of them, the Qeye that is so nicely fitted into my new BenQ M2200HD screen. And yes, I have tryed to use every thread i could find here, related to this.

The camera has, according to the output of "lsusb -v" a built in microphone.  Could one use this output in any way for the template to get the camera working?  I have spended most of two days trying to make a template on my own, and yes it loads alright, pnp-finds the camera by vendor id, but how i try i never get any picture from the camera..

..Any help are welcome..
Thanks in advance!
