Description of problem:
after loading the cpia_pp, apparently it doesn't "detect" the webcam
correctly? I suspect a bug in the videodev or cpia?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a creative webcam II on parallel port, tried in SPP, ECP, EPP
2.edit modules.conf  add options cpia_pp parport=0
3.load the module (that loads parport && cpia)
4. /proc/cpia/video0 do exist  but you can't access the webcam through
/dev/video0
	

Actual Results:  cat /dev/video0 : No Such Device

Expected Results:  Something else

Additional info:

normally a simple modprobe cpia_pp would have 'detected' the webcam, it
didn't, i had to add the parport=0 as option,  now i have /proc/cpia/video0
present; checking /proc/devices, 81 video_capture is present also,  but cat
/dev/video0  doesn't work;

kernel 2.4.6 compiled with the most standard options of the 'old' 2.4.2 of
rh 7.1.  cpia etc are modules-compiled


here is what dmesg shows me:

usb.c: registered new driver cpia

i've read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video*/cpia*, even looked through
the .c files after the options or so, but i don't know how i could debug
this more.

if needed: using a tyan motherboard (Trinity 400 - S1854); pIII cpu; it is
based on a via appollo pro 133 chipset

ps: i now will try with the 2.4.8, but have seen no updates concerning cpia
or videodev, so i'm not really optimistic on that
