qc-usb driver on Fedora Core 5 or 6 FC5 FC6
Blah. Been trying to get the (qc-usb QuickCam driver)[http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/] built all morning but it was failing. Guess why? The homepage does not link to the latest version of the driver – it links to 0.6.5 but for kernel versions 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 you need 0.6.6 – which you can currently only see on the (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12924)[full […]
AppleTV teh suck.
