I'm having a tough time getting a Compusa "VC-211A" USB video grabber working under Fedora 16 on a Dell E521.

I've tried: modprobe -r em28xx modprobe em28xx card=74 Results: No video UCview modprobe -r em28xx modprobe em28xx card=5 Results: No video UCview modprobe -r em28xx modprobe em28xx card=1 Results: No video UCview Any ideas? I had great hope in the card=74 until I saw that it expected a EM2800 and this seems to be a EM2820. Also, the device looks a lot like this but is marked differently http://www.cooldrives.com/usb-video-vcr-camcorder-analog-video-svideo-adapter.html Any idea on how to select Composite Video input?
