Sometimes Ekiga 2.0.7 can no longer show video output of my webcam Quickcam 
Fusion.
When I then run luvcview I get this error message:
Unable to set format: 5.
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal

Only way I could my webcam working again was to reboot the whole computer.
Luckily I found in this mailing-list that unplugging the USB cord of the 
webcam for a second resets the webcam.
I also read that one can "call usb_reset_device()", but I can't find info on 
that. What command can I use in linux to reset my webcam (it would be faster 
than getting up and reaching behind my desk to unplug the usb cord)?

Thank you,

Dieter
