I'm also getting a bunch of timeouts on reading the quickcam. Sep 24 18:19:51 isdn-kukulies /kernel: qcam0: 1 timeouts during init Sep 24 18:19:52 isdn-kukulies /kernel: qcam0: 6bpp unidirectional scan mode selected Sep 24 18:20:23 isdn-kukulies last message repeated 31 times Sep 24 18:22:24 isdn-kukulies last message repeated 113 times I would suggest an environment variable to set the quickcam whitebalance to a fixed value. From what I've read this value is a constant and distinct value for every individual instance. This would ease adjustment and confine it to two degrees of freedom rather than three :-) --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
