Trying to start using my IBM USB UltraPort camera on my Thinkpad. gtkam
doesn't seem to know about this model and doesn't detect it.

FC1 seems to autodetect it OK:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0461:0813 Primax Electronics, Ltd IBM UltraPort
Camera

# lsmod | grep ultracam
ultracam               13164   0
usbvideo               27648   0  [ultracam]
usbcore                78752   1  [ultracam usbvideo hid usb-uhci]

>From /var/log/messages:

Two questions:
(1) What do the last two entries mean?
(2) Besides gtkam, what FC1 apps could I use with this device?
