I see the following:

  Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
  usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
  USB Mass Storage support registered.
  ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)
  ohci_hcd: block sizes: ed 64 td 64
  loop: loaded (max 8 devices)

However, I saw that both before and after I turned on the camera.  Since I was messing around
quite a bit with this, I wonder if I did something earlier that would lead to this.  I also see
the following at the end of /var/log/messages:

  Sep 25 10:43:04 tomis bonobo-activation-server (ovid-17015): iid OAFIID:BrokenNoType:20000808
has a NULL type
  Sep 25 10:43:04 tomis bonobo-activation-server (ovid-17015): invalid character '#' in iid
'OAFIID:This#!!%$iid%^$%_|~!OAFIID_ContainsBadChars'
  Sep 25 10:45:06 tomis su(pam_unix)[17038]: session opened for user root by (uid=500)

Those timestamps are roughly when I tried to start the camera.

Cheers,
Ovid
