Hi all,

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and a Crative VF0540 Webcam. Which identifies 
isself as:

$ dmesg
[26238.642082] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera 
(Venus) (0ac8:3420)
[26238.642675] uvcvideo: No valid video chain found.

The problem is:  uvcvideo: No valid video chain found.

The funny thing is, It worked before (about a month ago.) But back than 
I did not investigate anything - it just worked. Now it does not work 
anymore. I constantly updated my Ubuntu. Booting an old kernel did not 
do it. On a other Ubuntu 8.10 which is almost the same it doesn't work 
either.

Funny is also that 0ac8:3420 is listed as working on 
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/.


I downloaded the latest uvcvideo-f5c337ded781.tar.gz from 02. Feb 2009, 
compiled is and run it (see listings below). No help.

I got no Idea any more, I would appreciate any help.

I look forward to your answers.
