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
kernel: USB Quickcam Class ff SubClass ff idVendor 46d idProduct 870
kernel: USB Quickcam camera found using: $Id: quickcam.c,v 1.111 2003/01/27 09:41:03 tuukkat Exp $
kernel: quickcam: probe of HDCS1000 sensor = 10 02 id: 08

kernel: quickcam: probe of HDCS1020 sensor = 10 10 id: 10
kernel: quickcam: HDCS1020 sensor detected

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

#
# Video For Linux
#
CONFIG_VIDEO_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT=m

#
# Video Adapters
#
CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_PMS=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_BWQCAM=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_CQCAM=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_W9966=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_PP=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_USB=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5249=m
CONFIG_TUNER_3036=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_STRADIS=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ZORAN=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ZORAN_BUZ=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ZORAN_DC10=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ZORAN_LML33=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ZR36120=m
# CONFIG_VIDEO_MEYE is not set


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
