pwc-9.0.2.tar.gz i had downloaded this
in that site they are telling that go to /usr/local/linux
but there is no dir like this on my system

[imdeemvp]

i cant do it for you.....please take your time to read it carefully they also provide you with a link for FAQ and a mailing list if you have any problems or questions...

you may also need to creat the directory yourself.....

[imdeemvp]

I don't know if this is still an issue for anyone, but a google search when I was looking for more information to get a Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro lead me here. :-)

Using Yum (or your favorite package too), you can install kernel 2.6.8-1.521. PWC support was right out of the gate even though there seems to be an issue with XawTV using "normal" sized image capture... It looks like I may be stuck at 120x120 or something close to that. :-(

I will post more info if/when I find it. I hope this helps someone.

P.S. The same thing happens in GnomeMeeting so I imagine it's a V4L limitation or something at a lower rung of the whole setup than than app.
