Are you sure you have configured gspca properly? |
| 20 |
Go to "Device Drivers > Multimedia Devices > Video Capture Adapters > |
| 21 |
v4l usb devices > GSPCA Based Webcams" in the menu provided by "make |
| 22 |
menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux and enable the relivent driver. |
| 23 |
Unfortunately, after looking across which webcames are gspca-supported, |
| 24 |
Ricoh doesn't show up a single time. So that may be just about useless. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The only drivers I could find are significantly behind in supported |
| 27 |
kernel versions, but could be worth a shot: http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/ |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In addition, there has been success using media-video/linux-uvc with |
| 30 |
Ricoh webcams, so that could also be worth a shot. Regardless, good |
| 31 |
luck, and do follow up if any of these ideas work. |
