Hi,
I am trying to set up a Creative Web Cam PD1050 to work on my Slackware
11.0 system. Can anyone point me to information on how to do this? Or
maybe someone else has already used this Cam and knows how to set it up?

I have used a PD1030 with no problem but the PD1050 will not work with
the current driver that the PD1030 uses.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Looking at
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/PWC/WorkingWebcamsWithPWC and
http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html I would think that your
PD1050 (aka Creative Webcam Pro Ex) should work with the pwc driver.
This driver is in the Slackware 12.0 kernel. Either you upgrade to
Slackware 12.0 or you compile the pwc driver for your Slackware 11.0
system. Note though that the pwc driver is only available for 2.6.x
kernels!
