Hello Andy, Mauro

I own a USB Microscope which looks quite the same as the one in your 
link, but I don't know if it is similar to the QX3 or QX5.
It is called "Traveler USB-Mikroskop" and model number is "SU 1071".
One of this two:

USB ID: 1871:01b0 Aveo Technology Corp.

It is not working in Ubuntu 10.04, kernel AMD64 2.6.32-24-generic.

If it is a QX5, I can help testing.

Regards,
Thomas
