Make sure you're using the snapshot version of the driver. The latest
release version doesn't support that camera.

My nice working system has died, so I'm temporarily on an old Celeron 500 with
fairly old hardware, whilst awaiting the repair. However, my old system does
have two USB slots, into which I have plugged my webcam (SPC900).

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Dapper, and downloaded and installed the pwc
driver as per instructions. But I have no /dev/video* - so I'm stuck.

:~# lsmod | grep pwc

:~# ls /dev/vid*
ls: /dev/vid*: No such file or directory
:~# uname -r
2.6.15-27-386


Using pwc-10.0.12-rc1

What have I forgotten since last time I did this? Or is there a problem with
my old hardware?

Thanks for any help!
Adrian
