No not really. It's a problem with the epiphan driver. I guess you use a non english version of Ubuntu... At one time the v4l or the vga2usb driver switched to localized error messages. This should be fixed at least in 1.2 I hope (although I'm not 100% sure).

[1] This is a sort of a nickname for the piece(s) of code that (allegedly, as it turns out) fixed the problem of plugging/unplugging the cable in the Epiphan cards.

    Hello Adam,

    I know this is some time ago, but: having driver
    vga2usb-3.25.0.2-ubuntu-2.6.35-25-generic_x86_64.tbz installed, I use
    the Epiphan DVI2USB Solo with capture.device.SCREEN.type=V4LSRC on the
    CA. When I disconnect the cable, recording stops, plugging it in again
    changes nothing.

    Trying capture.device.SCREEN.type=EPIPHAN_VGA2USB, recording goes on
    with a test pattern, but connecting the cable again doesn't bring the
    input back.

    So shouldn't it be the other way round, as you discribed? Or: how
    could
    I get scaling/unplugging/replugging features?

    Thanks for answering,
    regards,
