I just tried my QX3 microscope with both Gutsy and the latest Hardy beta and both worked with gqcam.
I plugged in the USB device, made sure the cpia module is loaded, installed gqcam and then ran "gqcam -v /dev/video0". I also echo'ed "toplight: on" to /proc/cpia/video0 and that turned on the toplight but gqcam has to be running for that to work. >From the kernel output there is no sysfs support yet. Here is the kernel messages in Gutsy when the device was plugged in and looking at Hardy, it's the same: [ 7973.144000] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [ 7973.156000] V4L-Driver for Vision CPiA based cameras v1.2.3 [ 7973.156000] Since in-kernel colorspace conversion is not allowed, it is disabled by default now.
