no /dev/video on raspbian? #37

Open DrCroubie opened 8 years ago

If I read the instructions correctly, the line: "After loading the modules you should have a new "/dev/videoX" which you can use like a web cam." means that following the structions should CREATE the /dev/videox link/file, correct? I've followed everything up to here fine (besides commenting out the previous issue in the gspca.c file), and I have no /dev/video anything. 'make load' works up to the point of chowning the /dev/video* bit, because it doesn't exist (doing every line individually up to that point is fine) Are there any other kernel modules that need to be set/modprobed to get this link? Or any other packages that need to be apt-gotten?

grep -i v4l2 /usr/src/linux/.config gives me: '# Config_video_v4l2_subdev_api is not set Config_Video_V4l2=m Config_Video_AU0828_V4l2=y Config_Video_EM28xx_V4l2=m Config_Video_Platform_Drivers=y '# Config_V4l_Mem2mem_Drivers is not set '# Config_V4l_Test_Drivers is not set Config_DVB_AU8522_V4l=m

(nb, # gives me huge fonts, hence the '# in the commented out bits)

Well I tried again, with a clean install with the new Jessie, and this time it 'just worked'. So not sure if it was the Jessie that did it, or more than likely just the order in which I did things and plugged things in etc. But at least it works now and probably worth closing until someone else has the same issue.
