How to preload library for webcam
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 3:09 pm
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:
TIA
