From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The Logitech Quickcam Zoom Silver (usb product ID: 046d:08b4) doesn't work when connected. According to http://www.saillard.org/pwc/README you need to load the kernel module with the module option power_save=1. I tried it under FC3 by doing the following: [root@pampa santiago]# /sbin/rmmod pwc [root@pampa santiago]# /sbin/rmmod pwcx ERROR: Module pwcx does not exist in /proc/modules [root@pampa santiago]# /sbin/modprobe pwc power_save=1 and now it's working perfectly!!!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect the usb webcam 2.Open camorama or gnomemeeting 3. Actual Results: Both programs don't show any image and they also block Expected Results: Show the image from the webcam Additional info: The problem is solved just by passing a kernel module parameter extra for this particular usb product ID
Sorry for the unnecessary extra email but I selected kudzu as the component because I didn't know where it really belongs to.
This should be done in the kernel module itself; if it's required for a particular usb id, it should set it in the module.
From User-Agent: XML-RPC kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
ignore that last comment, I mistakenly put this bug id in the FC4 announce. An FC3 build with this fix will happen soon (I just need to fix up some other problems first).

Please give that kernel a try. If it works out, I'll push that change upstream.
