Hello,

I've just find Luc's web site and read the documentation provided.
I read the recent archives too, but now, I'm lost.
I downloaded the latest version of the driver, and followed the instructions given on Luc's and Kenneth's web sites.

First I downloaded the latest kernel source, then rebuilt it.
Once done, I downloaded the latest pwc source module, and followed the instructions. Now, the /var/log/messages contains the following lines, so it seems ok, Dec 29 11:25:31 celtes2 kernel: pwc Philips webcam module version 10.0.9-unofficial loaded.

Dec 29 11:25:31 celtes2 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver Philips webcam

but the webcam is desesperated off. It is well plugged, but the cam is off as the led is always off. (and it works fine under windows ;-( so this doesn't come from it).
all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Francois

I have a Logitech Sphere and it works great with pwc 10.0.9.

How did you connect it? Do you use a USB hub? Does the camera fight for resources with other USB devices?
