With no camera plugged in there should be no module loaded - when you plug the camera in only one module should load. If you remove the module that hotplug bound the camera to then I don't think the camera will bind to the other module until you plug it out and plug it in again - this will, of course, load sn9c102 . . . There has to be a way to stop that module loading. > I reloaded the sn9c102 with modprobe and restarted Ekiga. The good news: > Ekiga now saw the camera. The bad news: same as before.

Oh well. > This is exactly the problem that blacklisting the sn9c102 driver fixed for me. - Maybe there's something wrong with the syntax I gave you for the blacklist file. - By the way, I'm still using Fedora Core 3, so things have probably moved on by now - it might be worth doing a 'man hotplug' and see if there's any details of blacklists there. 'udev' seems to be the way things are going - perhaps you need to see if there's a blacklist for udev?
