http://forums.fedoraforum.org – logitech quickcam messenger not detected by fedora 10 x64. i've checked the rpmfusion & livna repo's in hopes of finding kmod-gspca, but there is none. is there any way to get logitech quickcam messenger to work in fedora 10 or 11? or is this webcam unsupported? also, why is there no kmod-gspca for fedora 10 & 11? gspca page clearly lists this webcam as supported... is gspca not used any more in fedora 10 & above? do i perhaps need to recompile the kernel enabling some special options / modules to get this webcam working? ps the wierd problem is, the webcam is detected: lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messenger Plus but v4l2-tool, cheese & skype don't see it... so it doesn;t appear to work??? (HowTos)

Hi, I cannot find an updated driver for a webcam Logitech Quickcam E 2500 webcam. It doesn't work with Cheese nor does it work with Skype. I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Hi,

I searched on google and confirmed that ubuntu version 7.x worked with my webcam using the gspca. The hardware ID is 0x092E.

However, my current ubuntu version of 9.1 doesn't work. Both Cheese, and a webcam test website doesn't detect my webcam at all. The webcam LED just stays on all the time.

I'm not too sure where to go from here.
