Hey,
As you had mentioned i did use libv4l, and finally my cam -- logitech quickcam e2500 started working with camorama. However it still doesnt work with PD???? PD always crashes when i'm using the #camera-help.pd while selecting the cameraa input device.
More detials posted in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg27734.html 

Could there be an issue with the OS (ubuntu 9.04) or while configuring ?? I'm totally lost.

Hey,

hi.

since this is really a non-dev issue, i excluded pd-dev for now...



with gridflow which webcam drivers are supported? i found that pwc and
qc-usb are. i wanted to know whether uvc driver would be supported by
gridflow.?


as matju has stated several times (in this thread), all drivers that speak v4l (aka: v4l1) are supported by gridflow.
all drivers that only speak v4l2 are not natively supported by gf.
however (as said before) you can use libv4l to add v4l2 support to v4l1 applications at runtime.

other than that, it is hard to make any anwers (as matju has pointed out): gf (and any other video-application) does not directly communicate with a driver (pwc, qc-usb,...) but with a middleware (the v4l*-protocol).
