Re: pre-built pwc modules for official debian kernel

[Eric Lavarde <Eric.Lavarde@bawue.de>]

Hi,

as a last input, I compile pwc the ugly way and it worked, only some 
warnings, but I'm not experienced enough to say if they're important.

dmesg is a bit verbose but nothing spurious. And gnomemeeting seems able 
to use the camera, so fine.
Hope this helps, if I'm so verbose, it's because I'm so happy to have my 
webcam working at last!

Thanks, Eric
