Re: [Wlug] USB Driver: Where to start?

Folks,

I've got this idiot little USB camera that I got as part of a promotion. (Specifically, it's a QuickVideo weeCam USB from Alaris that I got a couple years back from Earthlink.)

Near as I can figure, there are no drivers for this fool thing for Linux.

IF I were to attack the problem, where should I start?

You might find the WLUG slides for the Oct 11 2002 meeting helpful as background. While I was dealing with a compact flash reader and USB, you may still find the basic ritual informative. It certainly will not take long to skim. :-) (Just go to the WLUG website, click the "here" under "Past meeting Information" on the main page, and then the "view" under the third meeting from the top.) doug
