Logitech Communicate S5500 question

I've been running zoneminder on debian lenny for a while with 2 Logitech Quickcam STX USB webcams and it works like a charm. Now I want to add a cam and I couldn't find the STX cam at my computer store so I bought a Logitech Communicate S5500 business edition an hooked it up. but it isn't working :(

in /etc/sysctl.conf I raised the memory to:

Code: Select all

kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824
When I do lsusb I get:

Code: Select all

Bus 007 Device 007: ID 046d:09a1 Logitech, Inc.
with zmu I get:

Code: Select all

Error, failed to get channel 0 attributes: Invalid argument
In /var/log/messages it reads:

Code: Select all

Mar 14 18:28:53 rudolph kernel: [ 9927.916455] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:09a1)
Mar 14 18:28:53 rudolph kernel: [ 9927.928942] input: UVC Camera (046d:09a1) as /class/input/input6
Mar 14 18:28:53 rudolph kernel: [ 9927.939768] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
Mar 14 18:28:53 rudolph kernel: [ 9927.939775] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
so the driver is loaded and the cam discovered.

Tried to download and compile a more recent version of uvcvideo but that didn't help.

There is no line for this device in modules.usbmap could that be the problem?

What am I doing wrong or will this cam just not work?
