Comment 155 for bug 260918

Are you sure it is only the libv4l package that has the problem? I can't get /device/videoX at all. I have rried libv4l from http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu, tried LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ...

dmesg gives this:
....
[ 644.112142] gspca: probing 055f:c200
[ 644.120720] gspca: probe ok
[ 644.120964] gspca: probing 055f:c200
[ 644.606989] gspca: disconnect complete
.....
Why is the camera probed twice?
Why after the second probing it is saying "disconnect complete" (and the web camera is still conected to the computer)?
How come lsmod lists the module for the web camera present in memory after saying it was disconnected?
