debian lenny logitech quickcam chat?
December 26, 2009
Dear lazywebs: My family has all received Logitech quickcam Chat cameras for Xmas (and happy holidays to you!). Ive managed to get the Logitech Quickcam Chat camera to work under various Ubuntu Karmic installs and I know for a fact it works under Windows Vista. I am running Debian Lenny however, and haven’t gotten it to work after installing gspca-source_0.1.00.20-1.all.deb as well as running m-a a-i gspca.
lsusb | grep Logitech

How old is this camera model? Does it really need gspca modules? Have you tried uvcvideo module?
I also think under karmic it might use uvcvideo. Try using a newer Kernel under Debian Lenny.
