Hi.
I am new to this list, not a dev, just a user. Sorry for the long post.

What is required to make the built in webcam in my new Samsung N510 netbook 
work? It's a Chicony, model CNF8140, vid:pid is 04f2:b147. 

Symptom: Camera is recognized during boot (v4l2 driver in kernel), but xawtv, 
ffplay etc. just give some errors like "Device or resource busy". My user is 
member of the "video" group, the rights of the device are set to group=video 
(read). Trying as root produces the same errors.
 
System: N270 Atom processor, NVidia Ion video chip (MCP79). Kernel is 
2.6.30-gentoo-r8, handmade. KDE 4.3.1 by gentoo.

Below is what v4l-info is saying, below that the output of lsusb. I am happy 
to provide other information as required.


TIA,
Ekki
