ok, but what does that have to do with my camera? it is a brand new usb
camera, and extension cable. it was working fine. the only thing i can
think of is updating the system somehow screwed up the settings or perhaps
reinstalling motion did. if i could box out the built in camera and use
only the usb camera before, then why not now? is there anything in the log
file i am missing? it cant be the camera, because i test it out with cheese
to see if it even works, and sure enough it is working flawlessly. so it is
somewhere in the motion settings, just where?
