A few weeks ago I could make my philips USB webcam working (module pwc and pwcx) with VIC MBONE video conference application. It worked very well. but for other reasons, I upgrade the kernel version without trying to make the camera working again : Now, I want to reinstall the camera but I get new problems : modprobe pwc size=qcif fps=15 power_save=1 -> OK : Aug 2 13:31:24 kandela kernel: pwc Philips PCA645/646 + PCVC675/680/690 + PCVC730/740 webcam module version 8.0 loaded.
