> root@sharief-desktop:/home/sharief# rmmod gspca_zc3xx
> ERROR: Module gspca_zc3xx is in use
> root@sharief-desktop:/home/sharief# rmmod gspca_main
> ERROR: Module gspca_main is in use by gspca_zc3xx
> root@sharief-desktop:/home/sharief#

> sharief@sharief-desktop:~$ modinfo -d gspca_zc3xx
> GSPCA ZC03xx/VC3xx USB Camera Driver
> sharief@sharief-desktop:~$ modinfo -d gspca_main
> GSPCA USB Camera Driver
> sharief@sharief-desktop:~$ modinfo -d videodev

> sharief@sharief-desktop:~$ modinfo -d v4l1_compat
> v4l(1) compatibility layer for v4l2 drivers.

Hi Niamathullah sharief，

 

   i think you can use rmmod  to test which module is exactly for your webcam.
