I don't know if I'm OT but I believe that v4l is used with usb webcams. I just 
bought an HP webcam but can't get it to work in Mandriva 2008.1 with amsn or 
camorama on any PC. lsusb says it's a Pixart Imaging device.

lsusb output:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 093a:2621 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

dmesg output:

That looks like an pixart 731x id to me, unfortunately adding extra usb id's to 
gspca is harder then it should be, so I've added the above id for you, here is 
a version with this ID included for you to build and try (follow the included 
instructions):

I tried to build it but got this error message:

make: depmod: Command not found.

Googling brought up links saying that depmod isn't on my system. But, whereis 
depmod returns depmod: /sbin/depmod.

How do I fix this problem so that I can install gspca v2?

My bad. I tried to install with su -c instead of logging in as su.  But, the 
HP webcam still doesn't work. amsn reports that it can't capture from the 
device.

And I can't adjust hue or color with my other webcam - Logitech Communicate 
STX Plus.
