Mustek gSmart Mini not working out of box on Lucid

[nitrofurano]

i got this from Terminal:

guest@p4:~$ lsusb && uname -a && cat /etc/issue && ls /dev/video*
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

ls: cannot access /dev/video*: No such file or directory
guest@p4:~$

i think this terminal text explains everything what is happening... - very weird, since all gspca cameras seems to be supported defaultly from libv4l (as all people says), it's very weird why this is not working...

are there precompiled modules can work, or some script like from gspca package from Ubuntu 8.04 can work fine without problems? thanks! :)

Hello,

according to the gspca spca500 usb id table, this webcam should be supported. In your case a kernel driver problem seems to occur because no dev entry is created.

Can you please post your /var/log/syslog or dmesg output when you plug in your webcam?

Thanks,
Gregor
