I tried using the uhci modules, but it wouldnt run with just that, so I had to use usb-uhci. Have you tried using that module? Here are the contents of my /etc/modules.autoload : usb-uhci usbvideo videodev ibmcam I couldnt get the camera to work by just loading the modules because I must have loaded the wrong modules or in the wrong order, but the camera was recognized 100% and works perfectly under gnome-meeting after restarting the box with the above included in the modules.autoload file. I was getting similar errors to the ones you posted within your email, so maybe you just loaded the wrong modules since my camera would not work when I just loaded the uhci module alone. I had to restart a couple of times with different combination of modules being loaded at startup, and the above combination had devfs recognize the camera without any problems... Hope that helps -- Louis C. Candell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
