You already have done - I've been using this with 2.6.22.18-vendorpatched since I made my original post, but I have not had a chance to test with a recent kernel. (Life's been crazy busy...) I've been using this happily however in: * Skype * luvcview * Pygame's experimental camera support As noted though, I haven't been able to test with a more recent kernel due to a lack of sufficient time, but I think your experience above matches mine. (I've not got the "cheese" application, so I don't know if that's an issue localised to you or not) Regards, Michael. -- http://yeoldeclue.com/blog http://www.kamaelia.org/Home _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
