Bug#404626: linux-image-2.6.18-3-486: logitech quickcam not detected by ati rage r128 all-in- wonder-tvout-card

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-486
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: important

Dear Sir, 

The quickcam messenger logitech cannot be detected by the kernel of linux if it is with a 
video card of type : ati all-in-wonder rage 128 tvin / tvout bulk. The corresponding webcam 
is shown there : http://patrick295767.sitesled.com/debian-bug-report/logitech-webcam-quickcam-messenger.jpg 

The webcam has been tried on several linux image version above 2.6 (ubuntu dapper & 
edgy) 
and is fully working on computer having nvidia video card  and s3 video cards... 

For ati all in wonder video card, the problem can be caused by the fact that both ati 
tvout/tvin and webcam are not detected by 
the kernel. No additioanl /dev/video are created and seen for the logitech webcam and ati. 

I recently bought an additional tv-card tuner and the /dev/video0 has been created. I can 
watch tv via the newly bought tv-card tuner of type pinnacle and pci.

Hence, on the computer, /dev/video0   /dev/video1   /dev/video2 at least should be seen and 
recognized. Only the /dev/video0 corresponding to the tv tuner card pinnacle can be 
accessible.

I tried anything that can be adviced on forums and persons around since more than 6-8 
months, even more. 

I would be very welcoming if you could fix the linux kernel issue.

Thank you very much, 

Yours sincerely,

Patrick
