Getting webcam to work using v41-dvb-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz
baz:
Hello,
I installed v41-dvb-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz but my webcam did not turn on. Issuing the command cat /dev/video0 > ~/tst.mpeg produces "No such device". Does that mean my Webcam is not supported? Is there anything I could do to debug and solve the problem? I am on an EEE 901.
Cheers,
Baz

See if there are any related messages in dmesg.
According to http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC_901#WebCam
it is an usb one, and should be supported by the uvc driver. This driver is included in the v4l-dvb extension.

I'm not very well versed on how to interpret the dmesg output. I have attached it in case you would like to take a look (must be logged in to see attachment for anyone wondering).
