Hi, I recently bought a Logitech Quickcam Sphere but I don't succeeded to use it. I tried several modules (ov511, cpia, pwc, ...) but no one is loaded when I connect the webcam, nothing append when I load by hand (modprobe) the module when the web cam is connected. The cam is known by the usb: [root@lns-bzn-31-82-252-196-134 ~]#lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08c2 Logitech, Inc.
