Re: [Motion-user] Logitech 46d:092f QuickCam Express Plus

[Andreas K. <an...@kr...>]

It is the only USB device, connected to one of the 6 USB 2.0 ports at the
back.
I use Ubuntu 8.10 64bit Desktop .. looks for me more and more like a
driver problem.
With 3 it doesn't die instantly but I only see black or black with blue
bold horizontal lines and white dots flying around.
After 3-5 connection losts to the camara the Segmentation Fault occur.
No CoreDump gets created (followed our instructions).
