Ok here is my situation :
I successfully use a Quickcam pro 3000 using driver "pwc" i realized soon
that the camera works but i am not able to get to the maximum resolution and
everything was not quite allright... So i did some searching and found this:
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
there i downloaded the "pwcx" module (8.1 here)
and just copyed it into my /lib/modules/mykerneldrivers/usb/
and loaded it with "insmod -f pwcx-i386" (note it wont work using modprobe
you need to force the module you will get unresolved symbols everytime you
run a "depmod -a" but it will work anyway with "insmod -f").
Now im happy running it well with good colours and all resolutions and
framerates supported by the cam.
I have never tryed the quickcam stuff cause this method was not elegant but
the result was what i wanted from it, it works fine with v4l too.
Hope it helped
cheers
Florian
