Earlier kernels said it found the sensor, but it did not work. In order to provide a usbsnoop dump, I would have to borrow a Windows box or try installing Windows in a VirtualBox VM and doing it that way hopefully. At present I am having a problem getting VirtualBox to start on this box, something is strange as certain apps when started as root stall at futex(0x69db9c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL for VirtualBox and same type of problem with qjackctl while they work as user. VirtualBox however now fails to start as user with:- lancelot@tindog:~/ftp/Mar09/JAVA-SDR/Radio/Radio> VirtualBox /usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: Permission denied /usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: exec: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: cannot execute: Success Looks like I shall have to do a fresh install as problem carried over from a hard drive with bad blocks and a shutdown due to watercooling failure. Likewise it's not critical as I have a Logitech Pro 9000 that has always worked with the uvcvideo driver. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
