icu2 and cheese

Post by Bob Benjamin »

Just opened cheese in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and the camera worked
fantastically. I noticed the cam listed, UVC Camera(046d:0990) is
exactly the same one in icu2 except that in cheese I saw /dev/video0
after the name of the camera. What does that mean? At all related to
getting the same camera to work in icu2? New to this so just asking.
Thanks. Bob

That's just where Linux attaches and reads the device. A second camera would be accessed from /dev/camera1, a hard disk probably from /dev/sda, a floppy drive probably from /dev/floppy, a random data generator from /dev/random etcetera.
