Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] SuSe8.1 + QuickCam PRO 4000 + modules.conf



I updated to the 2.4.20 kernel and installed the latest pwcx. Everything worked great until reboot. When I try to use the etc/modules.conf modifications below (changed only as to name of kernel), I lose mouse function and sound.

Is the location of changes within the modules.conf file critical?
Are further changes to the suggested modules.conf modifications necessary because of the new kernel?

Thanks.

the PWC driver comming with the SuSe 8.1 doesn't support the QuickCam
PRO 4000. In order to get this device working I had to download the last
pwc and pwcx drivers sources from:
              http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/

After compiling while modprobing the module I get the following error
message:

# insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/usb/pwc.o: unresolved
symbol kmap_pagetable


To face this trouble (Himem)I had to include the following line into
pwc.h:

#include <linux/highmem.h>           /* ajout pour suse 8.1 */


I put the followings line into modules.conf:

options pwc compression=0 dev_hint=1 fps=25 leds=250,250 mbufs=2
size=vga
post-install pwc /sbin/insmod --force -k
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/misc/pwcx.o > /dev/null 2>&1 || :

The dev_hint=1 option is to be sure the first Webcam uses the
/dev/video1 device.
It works great and gnomemeeting detects and uses the PRO 4000 Logitech
WebCam.

I've still some troubles with sound (Sound blaster AWE64) and Gconf
rights (OK with root) but I hope to be soon able to try it.
