Mark: Your "caminfo" link did the trick. I followed the links to http://www.linux-usb.org, specifically the USB-HOWTO and discovered that I needed the "usb-uhci" loaded too, As soon as it was "modprobe'd", the camera light blinked and a check of "/var/log/messages" revealled that the camera was alive and well: Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: Manufacturer: KTG Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: Product: VideoCAM Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: se401.c: SE401 camera found: Kensington VideoCAM 67016 Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: se401.c: firmware version: 46 Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: se401.c: ExtraFeatures: 0 Sizes: 160x120 200x152 176x144 320x240 352x288 400x300 640x480 704x576 800x600 Jan 1 10:21:47 ve6cta kernel: se401.c: registered new video device: video0 Thanks very much for the help. For the benefit of any other readers having similar problems, I recommend reading the "gqcam" INSTALL file, and also the USB-HOWTO. It seems that all the necessary information is available, its just a matter of digging deep enough. I sincerely appreciate your help. I'm looking forward to lots of experimenting with this "gadget". Regards, and I hope that you have a very pleasant and rewarding New Year. Dean Calgary On Mon, Dec 31, 2001 at 05:51:47PM -0800, Mark R.
