Hi,

I bought a cheap Genius FaceCam 310 usb webcam, which is promoted as being
supported in Linux Kernel > 2.21 (so it says in the box !)

I'm testing in under Slackware 13.1, and the camera is recognized by kernel

dmesg:
usb 1-1.1: Product: FaceCam 310
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device FaceCam 310 (0458:7070)
input: FaceCam 310 as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/input/input7

However no application I tried seems to get it to work. When trying to
capture video from VLC I got:

[0x1054040] v4l2 access error: cannot set input (Device or resource busy)
libv4l2: error attempting to open more then 16 video devices
libv4l2: error attempting to open more then 16 video devices
[0x1054040] v4l2 access error: cannot set input (Device or resource busy)

lsmod gives:

r...@lorien:/home/malefico# lsmod | grep video
uvcvideo               60908  2
videodev               37815  3 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat            15120  2 uvcvideo,videodev
v4l2_compat_ioctl32    11488  1 videodev
i2c_core               18679  3 videodev,nvidia,i2c_i801


Any hints as to what to try ? Is this a known bug ? I have search the
threads in the list looking for this specific model with no luck. I'll
appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Claudio Andaur.
