Yes I do, I belong to the video group. It doesn't work as root either
anyway. Some other logs

Some guy found a fix by doing a "v4l-conf -a 0x0000000" which was the
hex address of his camera...but his was an error about "unable to find
framebuffer device" so I'm not sure if its the same. He found the hex
address in Xorg.0.log, but there's no such address for me.
Not sure what else I can post here in terms of logs, so please let me
know if you need anything.
Thanks,
Varun
