My Microdia (SN9C201) webcam was working in Linux, but it has been failing lately. Take a look at the attached snapshot to see what I mean. It's like that all the time in Linux these days, but it works perfectly in Windows. I've tried using different USB ports and even a different computer without success. Does anyone know what's going on here and how we can prevent this problem? Let me know if you want me to send any additional information. `--> lsusb | grep Cam Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0c45:627b Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201 + OV7660) `--> lsmod | grep sn9c gspca_sn9c20x 27437 1 gspca_main 21628 2 gspca_sn9c20x usbcore 146241 11 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,usbhid,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_usb_audio,uas,gspca_main,usb_storage,gspca_sn9c20x,ums_cypress `--> uname -a Linux <Host> 3.2.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 27 21:51:46 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux `--> tail /var/log/kernel.log ...
