LE2005 + Creative Webcam

[SilverSurfer60]

Hello to one and all. Although this is my first post on this BB I don't consider myself as a newbie to computers as I have been using and abusing them for some 25+ years. I am a newbie to Linux as I have only had the system for about 8months or so.

Now the problem: I am unable to get my creative webcam to operate in LE2005. It worked fine with mdk10.0 and mdk 10.1 but not LE2005. I have gone through syslog, dmesg and system message files. Everything checks out until the following lines i.e.

 

kernel: kobject_register failed for ov511 (-17)

I have googled and posted in newsgroups without success. I had only one reply which suggests to me it is my setup is at fault.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Since posting the above I have found someone else having the same problem, and with no replies to boot. So it is not just my setup. !@*?
