Problems with webcam.

I'm trying to connect one of 2 old cameras i have. Both are Trust Spacecom 120 (sn9c102 driver).

I'm using a compiled Gentoo 2.6.31 on the plug (Have a lot of apps already, without X). I compiled the driver as a module. Plugged the camera. The light goes ON. And it doesn't work (trying with "motion"). The driver loads but i get from dmesg:

Code:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using orion-ehci and address 6
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1: SN9C10[12] PC Camera Controller detected (vid:pid 0x0C45:0x600D)
usb 1-1: PAS106B image sensor detected
usb 1-1: Initialization succeeded
usb 1-1: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0
usb 1-1: Optional device control through 'sysfs' interface disabled
usb 1-1: usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28

Motion complains it can not get the camera.

Someone knows other tools to test in shell the camera?

try this one:
apt-get install dov4l
Make sure the camera is connected to the USB socket, then enter:
dov4l -q

The previous solution would not work because the problem was at the kernel level. Solved after disabling a usb feature for EHCI. (Kernel 2.6.3X)
