[Ekiga-list] problem with 120 Spacecam

[David Ford]

Hi Jonathan
I just added it to /etc/hotplug/blacklist - to stop hotplug from using it.
I added:-
#webcam drivers
sn9c102
to the bottom of the list and that seemed to do the job - there are some 
instructions in the file.

PS In case this works and you begin to think I know what I'm doing - 
this suggestion originally came from Michel Xhaard ( mxhaard at magic.fr - 
he wrote the spca module). If you're still having trouble, try mailing 
him - he was a great help with my problems.
