Hi,
I'm very happy for quickcam messenger driver, I've tried to use it, but have some problems. If someone can help, it would be great (I'm linux noob).
My process:

Code:
insmod videodev.o
insmod quickcam.o

mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
all ok, now camera connected
in syslog.log:

Code:
Jan 29 20:06:23 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.0-1, assigned address 6
Jan 29 20:06:23 kernel: quickcam: QuickCam USB camera found (driver version QuickCam Messenger/Communicate USB $Date: 2004/12/30 10:00:00 $)

Jan 29 20:06:23 kernel: quickcam: Registered device: /dev/video0
look good for me

now:
Code:
[admin@asus palantir]$ /tmp/palantir/qcset -i

ok, so start palantir with default palantir-mips.conf
(changed only VideoDevice /dev/video0
and FrameSize 324x248)
