It is called "Traveler USB-Mikroskop" and model number is "SU 1071". One of this two: http://www.traveler-service.de/cms/index.php?id=traveler-optische-geraete-de 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
