Lee, sorry for the long response. I've got word back about the camera situation. The new kernel patches appear to have worked! Although the camera does not work as a microphone (but I think this may have been intentional on your part? If I'm not mistaken, your custom kernel has no usb sound drivers).
In any case, attached is the dmesg output, including that while the camera was used (about 3 times). ** Attachment added: "dmesg_lee_kernel_patched" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/22070/+attachment/1691745/+files/dmesg_lee_kernel_patched -- Logitech Quickcam Messenger is not usable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
