I thought my suspend was broken on this laptop.  But it turned out it is 
hit by a bug where the driver (nouveau) tries to reload firmwire in its 
resume code while userspace is still frozen.  That fails, but only after 
sitting there looking dead for 60s.  After the timeout, it resumes 
great.  So it might be worth trying.

I don't know about it specifically, but when I use my USB microscope I 
use Camorama.  Notice though it has no UI to select device, you have to 
give a switch --device=/dev/video1 on commandline if it's not the first 
video device.  It also might be worth a try.

FC15 beta testing result by my 76-year old uncle

2011-04-23 Thread Marius Andreiana
Hi all,

I've setup FC15 beta for  my 76-year old uncle. The major issues
encountered:
* wake up from suspend didn't work on his laptop; on another one does
* logitech quickcam express doesn't work -- light goes on in Cheese/skype,
but not image

Overall, it was pretty ok. Here's my uncle talking with a friend of his:

He finds very helpful l10n and Chrome translate of english content.

Happy Easter :)
Marius
