Well, I saw your mail and I try my CAMSTREAM in a terminal so that I can
figure out what is wrong.
It give out "Fail to open device" at start up and give me a gray box.
When I click File->Open viewer ... it works again.
It is a strange problem indeed, maybe there is something wrong with the
init step.
Just give another try then.
Good Luck!
