   I don't really have much experience with webcams and Linux, but maybe try installing xorg-xf86-video-v4l to see if that helps Xorg see the Video4Linux device.

   Xorg is started automatically. It's what makes Windows and Program GUIs show up. It also controls how your mouse and keyboard interacts with them.

   Another wild guess but try installing linux-video and see if that helps. Running tazhw detect-usb as root might also help.

    I have the same issue.

    lsusb list that it is a Logitech Quickcam and I can get the microphone working but not video.

    Ran fswebcam and I get the following message...

    root@GDES:/proc# ls -la /dev/video0
    crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 0 Jun 8 01:40 /dev/video0
    root@GDES:/proc# fswebcam
    --- Opening /dev/video0...
    Trying source module v4l2...
    Error opening device: /dev/video0
    open: Device or resource busy
    Trying source module v4l1...
    Error opening device: /dev/video0
    open: Device or resource busy
    Unable to find a source module that can read /dev/video0.

    Skype and Ekiga cannot find a video device.

    i have found the solution : move to another distribution, i've moved to lubuntu, it isn't as light as slitaz but it's ok it's lighter than ubuntu, and i have no problem, all work instantly. I did want a very light distrib, but if drivers don't exist for devices very common like standard webcam (UVC), it serves at nothing. byebye slitaz, with regrets

    It appears that the pwc driver is broken. A dump of /var/log/messages when the camera was plugged in and when fswebcam app was run is given here - http://pastebin.com/htmNjkE2

    Downloaded a Logitech supplied qc-usb-0.6.4 driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/files/qc-usb/0.6.4/ and tried to compile it but did not have much success.

    Any ideas? thanks.
