I just received this exact error: "Failed to open device
'v4l:/dev/video0'': Invalid argument.

I am running Kubuntu 9.04:

$ uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 00:28:35 UTC 2009 
i686 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"

It is fully up to date as of today 24 Sep 2009.

My system has a Logitech webcam. I also installed the Brother drivers
for a PSC scanner, which worked well on 8.04. I don't need xsane to open
the videocam.

Unless Canonical can provide a workaround to allow xsane to open and
function, this bug should not be closed.
