Pasi, Chris,

Thanks for helping.

When I use the usb and usbdevice options, I see this in my domU:
domU:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

It's a webcam, so I can't use it.. it do not create the /dev/video0
since i cant assing the driver to it.

Is it possible?

Thanks.
