Cant use Crystal Eye webcam on my Acer Laptop with Fedora 9

Hello,
        I have installed Fedora 9 on my Acer Aspire 4720 laptop. It
has a Crystal Eye Webcam. But with Fedora 9 I cant use it. It is
working fine with Windows XP. It is detected properly but doesn't
work. I installed cheese and skype but the webcam doesn't work in
either of them.
gstreamer-properties shows the default video input plugin as v4l2 and
device as Acer CrystalEye webcam but the test for the webcam fails.
What should I do to make the webcam work?

Thank you

These don't provide webcam drivers.

You might try to install gspca , here you can find what chips it supports
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

# yum install gspca

I have already installed gspca. When I try to test the webcam using
gstreamer-properties I get the following error :

gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux
2 (v4l2)': Error starting streaming capture from device '/dev/video0'.
[v4l2src_calls.c(1392): gst_v4l2src_capture_start ():

system error: Protocol error]

Also cheese gives this error :

`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed

(cheese:9072): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion

I guess uvcvideo is the driver for my webcam. But it won't work.

I tries to reload the driver as modprobe uvcvideo but still it doesn't work.

Did it complete?  Were there any error messages?

Yes....It installed cleanly without any errors. But luvcview does not
start. It gives this error :

[root@rohan rohan]# luvcview -f yuv

web-cam might work with the new driver.

I still think that someone broke during updates, as it was playing
fine with no workarounds: I would wait for comments by developers....
I cannot test an old kernel as other updates broke my graphic login
untill I updated too a kernel from F10!!!! see bug 454055 in Bugzilla

While the link I gave you was an outline of how to set it up, there's a much
better one (just found it now we know about uvcview)

It may be that something is done differently in the ubuntu installation than
in the fedora one.  This should give you more specific instructions.

using this link : http://www.fishpool.org/tag/Acer I learnt that I
need to install linux-uvc driver. I downloaded the driver by :

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

However, make gives the error :

[root@rohan trunk]# make
Building USB Video Class driver...
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686/build: No such file or
directory.  Stop.
make: *** [uvcvideo] Error 2

I checked the directory /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686/. There is a
file build which is a symbolic link to

build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686

How do I install this driver?

You are installing onto Fedora.  Why did you not follow the instructions from
the Fedora link I gave you?
