Webcam Hercules "Dualpix Chat and Show": problems
by SuSE_Lamer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RBP5)
Hello,
recently I wanted to use a USB-webcam of "Hercules" on Linux Debian 10. I plugged it in, and saw that "Cheese" has recognized it, but "Skype" and "Camorama" did not. After second try even "Cheese" did not recognize a cam and showed an error "could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)".
USB-ID of the device is 06f8:3007. I searched a bit and found several posts from the past saying that this cam needs a special driver. Unfortunately, I did not find this driver on Debian 10. Can anybody give me a hint on it?
Thanks in advance
Andrey
