I rebuilt the kernel, included the approptiate drivers as modules, insmodded them, and the camera responds with pics. I dont beleive that it was nessesary to rebuild the kernel though - should have worked out of the box. If you rebuild the kernel, make sure that the 'show experimental drivers' option is switched on, select Video for linux, and then the USB CPIA module. Once booted, do an insmod cpia (this loads the cpia_usb as well). Then install and run gqcam to get a pic. The only problem that I have is getting the modules to autostart. I have tried putting them in /etc/modules, in which case they get loaded, but gqcam gives me a /dev/video does not exist. I have also put them in modules.conf as a dependancy of all the USB stuff, but I get the same error (even though the modules load without errors). Also, removing and inserting the camera's USB cable results in an error 'unknown device' in the logs. I have taken to insmodding them manually after boot in which case there are no problems - the camera can be seen as recognised on console 12. Regards Nigel
