Webcam problems...

Post by zaphur »

Hi.

I have installed Gentoox home edition. I did "emerge sync", then I did "emerge camsource" like it says in the webcam tutorial on these forums. I ran camsource like it says but it says there is no /dev/video0 blah blah no device found. I am trying to use a creative webcam, just the standard creative webcam (nothing special).

Can someone give me some help with this?
