Error on last post. I did clean it out this time. Your "ls" result shows
that /dev/video0 is a character device, I would have thought it a block
device. I am running Dapper here and if what you say is true maybe I
should wait a few weeks for Feisty to be released. (Maybe I will wrap
the whole thread up in a tarball and send it to the gurus at LXF
magazine for them to muddle over.) I thank you and the rest of the
community for the help you have given. While I am waiting perhaps I will
add spca5xx to /etc/modules so it will load at boot and I don't have to
modprobe it each time.

Thanks once again

Jim
