Thinking my PC was the problem I built a new i7-based PC but the Creative Live! 
Cam Optia AF continues to be inaccessible to all graphics appications.  Ekiga 
recognises it as an input device (VF0560 Live ! Cam Optia AF (PTLIB/V4L2) but 
cannot display local video (option is grayed out). XSane throws an error when 
scanning for devices: Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid 
Argument.  Camorama simply says is could not connect to video device 
(/dev/video0).

Even in plain text my lsusb output exceeds your 40k limit (it's 51k), so I have 
attached it zipped.

Please advise.  Thx.

Subject: Creative Live! Cam Optia AF


Hi


I am running Ubuntu Linux -  9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope.  I just purchased a 
Creative Live! Cam Optia AF as this has been documented as a web cam that 
functions with Ubuntu. It is supposed to use device ID 014e:4058 according to 
the list of linux UVC devices.  However, upon installation lsusb shows:

    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 041e:406d Creative Technology, Ltd 

I.e. a different ID and this ID is not shown to work under Ubuntu Linux.  And 
it's true - I can't get any webcam apps to work.  Any advice?

I would have sent you the entire verbose lsusb listing but your 40k limit 
prevents this.

Thanks,
Steve Hilton.
