Logitech sphere cam UVC driver install

$ svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk

$ cd trunk

$ make ; make install

If you have to reset you cam for any reason, do: 

unplug your cam 

depmod

modprobe -r uvcvideo 

modprobe -r snd_usb_audio 

replug your cam 

(not sure if step 1 and 4 are really necessary, or if 2 and 3 would be sufficient)

Noob question

Hi there. I've downloaded the subversion repository, run make and make install. How do I get Linux to "see" and use this new driver? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 at present. /dev/video0 does not exist yet. I've been reading through the driver instructions but I don't know how to create /dev/video0 and link it to the driver. Thanks for any help. BTW, lsusb does not at present see the camera, but it is seen in the device manager. Ubuntu 7.10 seems to come with the uvcvideo driver preinstalled:

locate uvcvideo

/lib/modules/2.6.22-10-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko 

this location is difference [fedora 8]

cp /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-49.fc8/uvcvideo.ko

cp /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-49.fc8/updates/uvcvideo.ko

and .. make again 

$ make ; make install  

$ modprobe -r uvcvideo 

case error : invaild format 

and then

$ depmod

$ modprobe -f uvcvideo
