Hi
When I plug in my webcam on my laptop, I get this message in the messages file
kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
However there is no info on the device it is mapped to.
Does anyone have a webcam working on their Debian systems? Also are there any clients which allows video chat ?

What does lsusb say? Do you have the driver for your webcam set up correctly? What webcam do you have (lsusb should say something). You may have to install a new kernel module to support usb webcams.

I use ayttm (ayttm.sourceforge.net) which supports webcam for Yahoo! Messenger. You'll need to get the cvs version if you want it to work.

Thanks. I will try that.

first make sure you can actually get webcam images using xawtv. If your webcam isn't set up, nothing else is going to work.

Hey, I got it working.
I did a apt-get install spca5xx-source and using module assistant , installed the module. Now xawtv works. Now I need to get ayttm working.
Thanks a lot. Long live Debian!!!

like I said earlier, you may need a kernel module. research linux support for your webcam before going ahead.
