Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get my creative webcam vista working in arch64. The gspca 
module loads ok and the device is detected, but "xawtv -c /dev/video0" 
just gives me a black window. Not sure if this issue is arch64 only so 
I'm posting to both ML's.

$[varun at arch ~]# xawtv -c /dev/video0
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.22-ARCH)

Also,

[varun at arch ~]# xawtv -hwscan

looking for available devices
port 275-306

port 307-338

Thanks for any help you can give.
