iConcepts USB Digital Camera
This is a discussion about iConcepts USB Digital Camera in the Linux Hardware category; I'm running Mandrake 9. 1 (kernel 2. 4. 21-mdk13) and have recently bought a 'toy' digital camera. The packaging calls it an 'iConcepts Web Cam 2 Go Kit' but I think its either an SQ702 USB (this main be an Asian name) or an iConcepts 69052.

I plugged it in a GTKam popped up but couldn't find a driver for it. I looked on the Internet but couldn't find a driver there either.
But I did find some related posts which said about mounting the device /dev/sda to somewhere appropriate.
I looked in /dev but there wasn't anything there. The only things in /dev/scsi were the cdrom and cdwriter.
I checked my kernel setup and things like USB mass storage are there.
Any Ideas?
Cheers.

I don't seem to have a device called /dev/sda1 or anything similar.
But I think I've got all the right modules in my kernel.

Is that the error you are getting when you try to mount or have you simply looked in your /dev/ directory.

Yes, if I issue:
Code:
Code:
Actually, I haven't got an entry in fstab for it. Should there be?
Code:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/otherit says:
Code:
mount: special device /dav/sda1 does not existand I've looked in /dev and its definately not there.

No there is no need to have a line in /etc/fstab unless you want it to mount at boot.
try

Code:
If modprobing usb-storage worked for you all you need to do so that it loads this module at boot is add it to your /etc/modules file...
Code:
try
Code:
modprobe usb-storageto see what modules you have loaded
Code:
lsmodonce you plug in and switch on your camera devfs will automatically create /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 and if you where to plug in a second camera or thumb drive it would create /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1....

Code:
echo usb-storage >> /etc/modules
