But since working and non-working | situations are very reproducible, I suppose it is not an hardware | problem. | In particoular, the camera works in linux on the both conditions (both | necessary): having worked in windows and the laptop having been | rebooted from windows. And for working in windows, a "deep" boot is | necessary (ie a boot from a completely "shut down" situation). Sorry | for the terms used, but I don't know how to express better the two | different kinds of booting. Hope them were understandable. | | Well, thank you all for reading and for any suggestion you will write. | Ok, so the windows driver probably does some initialization that we miss. In order to help you further I need some usb snoops from windows. This page [1] gives some good instructions on how to capture usb sniff logs. Follow them and put them up somewhere on the web and send the links to this mailing list.
