video4linux (quickcam) on unstable - /dev/???
Unstable running the latest unstable devfs.
Just downloaded kernel-source-2.4.21 and qce-source.
Built the kernel with make-kpkg and got two deb files:
kernel-image-2.4.21_10.00.Custom_i386.deb and
qce-modules-2.4.21_0.40d-2+2.4.21+10.00.Custom_i386.deb.
Installed - rebooted.
lsmod shows:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
apm 10060 2 (autoclean)
mod_quickcam 38096 0 (unused)
videodev 6144 1 [mod_quickcam]
keybdev 2116 0 (unused)
usbkbd 3640 0 (unused)
input 3488 0 [keybdev usbkbd]
usb-uhci 23696 0 (unused)
usbcore 63340 1 [mod_quickcam usbkbd usb-uhci]
So - videodev is loaded and used by quickcam.
The camera is detected at boot:
kernel: uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1
kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
kernel: usb.c: registered new driver quickcam

Here's the options I used in the kernel build.

Now - I did this a long while ago (on testing) and IIRC I did the same
things - but that time I got a /dev/video0 etc. This time I have
nothing /dev/vid*
So - where did I screw up or what is the device called now? I need to
use this with camserv.
Any hints appreciated
