history when i plug the camera to the usb hub i get this kernel msg

"usb.c: USB device 3(vend/prod 0x40a/0x2) is not claimed by any active driver"

when i check drivers loaded i see the dc2xx driver

"

usbdevfs hub hid 80- 95: dc2xx"

i also see the device its vendor 040a " P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 P: Vendor=040a ProdID=0002 Rev= 0.90 P: Vendor=068e ProdID=00ff Rev= 0.00"

dead end. got dvc 323. Kodak doesn't think they can make money off Linux hence they don't give a damn. I had email conversation with CEO once and they simply got no interest. I wonder if their new CEO Carp has different stand but I doubt it. this is at least true for DVC series.

you know we in the day and age where we map the humane genome, and try to keep that opened up, we got shit companies like Kodak treating a stupid webcam like its the invention of the century.

But logitech is doing the same:

I mean what to fuck. do these companies expect in 5 years we all will urge for video communication through a 30 fps cheapo shit cam? I sure as hell hope digi cams will evolve and not be of the standard they at right now. fact is Kodak hasn't seen a dime from me in two years and never will again unless they change their policy.

there is a program called usb-robot out there but I am not the type to reverse engineer anything.

has anyone been able to get this camera to work with suse or linux in general

the documentation with the kernel only talks about kodax dc2xx
