a) 请根据内核版本和摄像头类型从http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html选择下载最新驱动，该驱动支持市面上大多数摄像头。

b) 编译、安装以及装载摄像头驱动

c) # tar xvzf gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz

# cd gspcav1-20061216

# make

# make install

# modprobe gspca

注意：Ubuntu更新库中也包含了该驱动，可以简单的通过“m-a a-i spca5xx”命令来自动下载并编译安装，但是由于库中的代码并不是最新的，对于某些摄像头的驱动可能存在问题，所以推荐手动下载、编译并安装的方式。

d) 用Camorama程序测试摄像头及其驱动程序

# apt-get install camorama

从开始菜单启动Camorama程序，如果驱动工作正常，将会在程序中显示动态预览窗口。





插入USB摄像头

$ dmesg

ZC0301 WebCam就是我们USB摄像头的芯片，内核是有驱动支持的。

drivers/media/video/zc0301/, 支持V4L2.

[pcspkr是在modprobe之前原来就有的]

这个时候/dev/video0就建好了。

安装一个应用程序

$ apt-get install camorama

运行camorama，就可以看到了。

另外： 换另一个摄像头（芯片sn9c101），因为装过了spca驱动，所以这次可以直接用了。
