[PD] creative webcam and pdp

[metafor at gmx.net]

hi amalia

i had the same thing when i first used a philips wecam with pd,
are you sure you have pwcx module loaded?
(i supose you use linux)

you can download the pwcx module here:
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/release.html
(it's binary only, so kernel will be tainted)

probably you have to force your module to load into kernel, because
it's compiled differently modprobe -f pwcx (if it's in your /lib/modules)

hope that's it.

best
