Anne, thanks for the quick reply. A number of comments: 1. My main question was... *how* do you install the v4l driver? It's not in the install drake. Where do I find it? 2. I do not have an /etc/x11/xf84-4.conf file but I do have /etc/x11/xf86.conf. I looked in there and there's an error in the modules section (I think). The "load v4l" was there but it had inadvertently been commented out with an #################### before the "endsection." I removed this line. 3. I inserted the "v4l2-common" line in modprobe.preload as per your instructions. (Now I think all I need to learn is how to install the v4l module)... - Jack
