After tried few times and failed to get the webcam to work in my Fedora 9 box..
I decided to re-formatted the whole box and install CentOS 5..
and guess what?.. after installed dkms-gpsca and all the dependencies..
the webcam just work out-of-the-box..
.. by using ekiga.. can see the video stream captured from the
/dev/video
hahaha..
then come the interesting part..
after playing a bit with skype and ekiga to get the video stream..
why not putting a webcam software showing something like world view.. or something..
did bump into a software.. Zone Minder[zoneminder.com]
[ad#postad]
run into sort of script sequence as below..

Front of the aparment
I m using centos, i tried ur installation step and gone fine but finally when i ran the command ‘service zm start’ my terminal says ‘bash: service: command not found’ wat might be the error. I want my web cam from mron to work.
have you become root first before issue
with
“su – ”
“service zm start” ?
can be also as ..
“/sbin/service zm start”
or
“/etc/init.d/zm start”
