This is interesting.<br>Like I said before,<br>I asked this list before with the same problem.<br><br>maybe we can share info.<br>&nbsp;<br>Are you compiling Gem?<br><br>I have used the compiling options --with-ieee1394-includes<br>and --with-ieee1394-libs<br>-I don't know where to set the libs thaugh- /usr/lib/?<br><br>Anyway, at the end of the configure, I get no for the ieee1394 option.<br><br>even disabling v4l is not doing much.<br><br>I went on the ieee1394 website and saw that the api relies on two libraries.<br><br>Just for you information, <br>last time I succeeded in making my dvcamera work with Gem on linux was on red hat 9.<br><br>This I have tried on breezy and dapper with no success.<br><br>I grepped for /dev/ieee1394 in the Gem's src directory and found that it is supposed to default to ieee1394 from v4l (is this correct?).<br><br>I remember having to send a driver 1 message to pix_video like on a mac.<br><br>Only on my Edgy machine the repertoire is
 /dev/ieee1394-0<br><br>could one do as such perhaps?<br><br>1. ln -s /dev/ieee1394 /dev/ieee1394-0<br><br>2. permissions <br><br>Anyway, just my 2 cents for now.<br><br>Sylvain<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><b><i>Ivica Ico Bukvic &lt;ico.bukvic@gmail.com&gt;</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> &gt; Despite those thoughts I still haven't had a look at unicap yet, still too<br>&gt; many other things TODO first.<br><br>Well, I just wasted another 2 hours trying to get my 5+ (!) year old webcam<br>working which is still unsupported in Linux (intel pocket pc cam cs780, even<br>though CS630 and CS430 are supported).
