Oh

Well you could "try" the driver in the new Puppy. This uses Kernel 2.4.31, and I have nit re-compiled the modules so they may just refuse to work - I am not sure!

You will need to download the right one and then:

cp /usr/lib/modules/usb/media/* /lib/modules/2.4.31/usb/media

and follow the guide!

Good luck!

Hey Lobster!
Does your camera have a "base" that "pops" off?
Somewhere on the web, while also trying to get my
Ezonics EasyCam II to work, I had to "pop off" the base to
find a different model number.
The sticker on the base bottom says one thing but the
number written on the bottom of the cam "inside" the base
makes a BIG difference in choosing drivers and such.
Good luck!
Back to hacking on mine.

Nick, fixing to try your v2.05 Camwizard and see it it will help!

Not yet in Puppy2

Running Puppy 3.01 Shard.
Since I can't seem to find a way to install the camwizard.pup, I can't follow the instructions on the page. (I'm guessing there's no ROX on shard?)

And the http://www.moyo.me.uk/pupplinux/select.htm doesn't seem to work. So I manually did things but couldn't get it to work.
I guess I'll try it on my other copy of puppy at home.


Anybody with the same camera as me?
