I used app manager. Open it. Update it and fcam driver should show up.

@pawan4ever4one
Just do this and it'll fix it for sure:...CUZ I JUST DID IT FEW MINS AGO!!
type: 'apt-get -f remove fcam-drivers' and it will remove the drivers and all dependable apps..then just reinstall blessN900 or any other fcam based app and it will automatically install the latest fcam drivers and there u have it...EASY AND SIMPLE!!! :D

Re: Camera not Working
 

guys..managed to get camera working by "apt-get -f remove fcam-drivers"..

however, when i installed back fcam,operation failed still persists. then i downloaded the 1.0.7-1 fcam driver and "dpkg -i fcam-drivers_1.0.7-1_armel.deb", rebooted, still the same..

i don't understand..i'm not using power-kernel >=V42-V45..i'm still on V40..

edited : managed to get it to work by manually installing fcam-drivers version 1.0.6-1..has to downgrade from 1.0.7-2 to 1.0.7-1 to 1.0.6-1 to get it to work..

I just did this and worked as a charm.
