Been working on this way too hard.

1st - I looked on the box of my Logitech QuickCam Express to get the model #.  I couldn't find reference anywhere else.  The number was listed right above the bar code on the box.  This was a recent purchase, so it is a newer model number: QC XPRS 961121-0403 .  1st question, does this have the same chip set as the qce-ga-0.30a driver.  If not, is there one being worked on?

2nd - I recomplied my the 2.2.18 kernel with all the needed usb stuff.  I complied the quickcam.o and moved it to /lib/modules/2.2.18/usb.  I added the entry 'alias char-major-81  quickcam' to my /etc/modules.conf. What am I missing.  Here is the output from quickcam.sh:

[root@breckenridge qce-ga-0.30a]# ./quickcam.sh
Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/videodev.o
Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/usbcore.o

Looks ok to me:

Here is the output when running xawtv:

[root@breckenridge /etc]# xawtv
This is xawtv-3.35, running on Linux/i586 (2.2.18)

v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

3rd: Is there something that I need to configure to associate the quickcam with /dev/video0 or should that happen when the driver is loaded?

feel free to email me any ideas of what to remedy this problem @ bouldertatum@hotmail.com
