I would try the Linux-USB list.

Relevant lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b23b Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd It's a built-in cam in a laptop. The problem is it doesn't work. Not with Skype, not with luvcview. However, if I do chmod 666 /dev/video0 It then works fine. Another thing, here's my errors.log: Oct 2 03:01:38 localhost udevd[318]: timeout: killing 'usb_id --export /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-3' [514] Oct 2 03:01:39 localhost udevd[318]: timeout: killing 'usb_id --export /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-3' [514] Oct 2 03:01:40 localhost udevd[318]: timeout: killing 'usb_id --export /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-3' [514] As you can see, this updates every second with the same message. Because of this problem, I've discovered also that I cannot suspend my system, and it often fails to properly turn off as well. Luckily I have an option in BIOS to disable the webcam. If I do so, the system functions perfectly fine. Googling the VID:PID codes yielded no real results. Apparently uvcvideo module still doesn't support this camera. Any help? _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel -- /* Jason Pitt PhD 206.667.5603 Roth Lab jp...@fhcrc.org Basic Sciences Division Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave N A3-135 Seattle, WA 98109 */ _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
