There should be something in the /var/log/messages that says "pwc driver attaching to /dev/video?", right? There is nothing like that. It just gives the pwc driver info, but says nothing about detecting any devices. I found this useful diagram: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/support.html It shows that the modules are linked like this: usb-core > pwc > v4l The problem is that v4l isn't getting activated. Any ideas? I am completely stumped on this. Should I try a new kernel? I am using the plain old RH9 kernel. I will probably switch to SuSE 9 at some point to see if that changes anything. My offer of a $25 reward to anyone who can help me fix this is now doubled to $50. If you are interested, give me your IM account info or a phone number. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
