hi,

i got an webcam some days ago, but i have got the problem, that only 
root cant access to /dev/video0

ls -l /dev/video*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     6 Jan 16 07:26 /dev/video -> video0
crw-------  1 root root 81, 0 Jan 16 07:26 /dev/video0

i have build the kernel module myself (spca5xx)

lsmod | grep video
video                  16197  0
videodev                9665  1 spca5xx

i also changed /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
from:
KERNEL=="video*",              MODE="0660"
to:
KERNEL=="video*",               MODE="0666"

any ideas what i do wrong?

regards,
 patrick
