Hi. let me start with my "CANYON CN-WCAM21 PC-Camera" problem. There are also others maybe or maybe not related. More about them later.
That camera already worked in Mandriva ( 2007 or 2007.1), after fresh install of Mandriva 2008 I can't make it work. I guess the root of the problem is that modul is not properly loaded. I will be glad of any tips about it.

Also I have problem with nvidia driver. X.org nv works, but nvidia can't load. Don't know why.
During shutdown it says it cannot stop fuse deamon. Not sure if running but I do have one NTFS currently.
I did try to uninstall and install related "dkms latest" packages, but no success.
Thanks, Filip.
