[Frugalware-forums] Re: Finding that usb device

[Nic]

I was really trying to see what kind of quickcam it thinks I have to see it if it would be compatible with free software. After doing what you said, I checked the new_id [1] file but it has no read permissions even to root, so unless I change the permissions. I remember reading that root should be able to read anything even it has no read permissions, but that didn't work.

[1] /sys/bus/usb/drivers/quickcam/new_id

To answer your question, the first command gives me over ten thousand lines. 

I have attached dmesg_file. I am using 0.9-1 frugalware.
