    With cpia 1.3.1 on a 2.6.0 kernel, I get the following:
    Jan  1 16:21:29 pc V4L-Driver for Vision CPiA based cameras v1.3.0

    Any known fix for the above issue?

    Thanks

      It looks like nobody is updating the cpia driver to the 2.6 kernel -- that's too bad, because the modifications needed are likely very minor. The 2.6 kernel's use of sysfs may be the issue, as dmesg suggests.

      I just sent a bug report to lkml but it would be nice to hear from someone who knows the driver. Duncan Haldane, who used to update the driver, has been quiet for a year now.

      Cheers,
      Dave

      I also get this error with the 2.6.27 kernel.  However, having plugged the microscope in, it's registered to /dev/video0.  If I then:

      sudo ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video

      and then launch gqcam, my microscope works!  So there is still a bug in the driver, but it doesn't seem to prevent the microscope from working, at least under 2.6.27 kernel (ubuntu 8.10).

      cheers,

      Neil
