Hi all, I am trying to install an Hercules Deluxe webcam in a SLED 10 box. I've received some useful help from people in Novell fora, but I've not been able to set up the camera yet. dsmeg shows the following entries concerning it: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 2-2: new device found, idVendor=05a9, idProduct=4519 usb 2-2: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-2: Product: USB Camera usb 2-2: Manufacturer: OmniVision Technologies, Inc. usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice I've been also advised to use usbview looking for details about the sensor, but after installing it this is all I can get: citlali:~ # usbview Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Please, could you be so kind as to giving me any new key to try to get this device running with Suse? Thanks! Best regards, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez XEN, Resources Management

This error is happening because you have su'd to the root user and root doesn't have the DISPLAY environment variable set. Try: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 usbview If that doesn't work, log in to X11 as the root user and try it. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
