I had around a cheap webcam but were always unable to use it with Linux since there weren't a proper driver in the 2.4 kernler serie. Now, just for curiosity, I plugged it into my newly installed FC3 laptop and it is still not working but there is an improvement; here is the log result: Nov 12 08:56:25 hal9001 kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 6 Nov 12 08:56:25 hal9001 kernel: usb 1-1: SN9C10[12] PC Camera Controller detected (vid/pid 0x0C45/0x600D) Nov 12 08:56:25 hal9001 kernel: usb 1-1: PAS106B image sensor detected Nov 12 08:56:26 hal9001 kernel: usb 1-1: Initialization succeeded Nov 12 08:56:26 hal9001 kernel: usb 1-1: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0 Nov 12 08:56:31 hal9001 wait_for_sysfs[6811]: either wait_for_sysfs (udev 039) needs an update to handle the device '/class/video4linux/video0' properly (no device symlink) or the sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report to <linux-hotplug-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Probably if I made my homeworks now I would be able to fix the thing myself but this is not the case :( Should I report this thing to the linux-hotplug ML, bugzilla.redhat.com or what? thanks in advance Gianluca
