How to preload library for webcam

Post by athoopen »

All,
I'm running on opensuse 11.1 and it seems from opensuse documentation that some webcams don't work with the gspca drivers within the kernel.
There is a work around (described in http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Web_Cameras): preloading the libv4l-compat library.
This works for me (checked with kopete) but what do I need to do to preload the lib within ZoneMinder.

FYI:

Code: Select all

$ zmu -d /dev/video0 -q 
N:Camera,T:1,nC:1,nA:0,mxW:352,mxH:288,mnW:48,mnH:32,X:0,Y:0,W:320,H:240,P:0,D:8,B:0,h:0,Cl:0,Cn:0,w:0,n0:spca561,C0:0,Fl0:
$lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express Plus
$uname -a
Linux Schuur 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-05-26 17:02:05 -0400 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

TIA
