Hi All:

I recently succesfully installed the pwc module on a SUSE 9.3
Now I have another PC (dell) and SUSE 10, same camera...

The install went without problems (I believe)
~> lsmod | grep pwc
pwc                    87796  1
videodev                9088  2 pwc
v4l2_common             5760  1 pwc
usbcore               112640  7 
snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,pwc,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

With XawTV I see an image (very very dark blue'ish) but at least I see 
something
with Gqcam I see a black screen with a gray banner just above the middle of 
the screen, when putting something close to the lens the 'gray' banner
becomes darker or lighter.
Looks like the actual img is 6 times inside that gray banner (side by side)

I used on SUSE 9.3 'webcam' to capture a pic every minute and FTP it.
now "webcam" starts, doesn't report errors (AFAIK) but doesn't grab/save an 
image.

SUSE10
2.6.13-15-default
pwc-10.0.9-rc1

lsmod
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:08b4 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Zoom

Hints en tips more than welcome...
