Thats saying xawtv has to be running I take it?

Thats correct.  I cannot get the whole thing to build, but the 
libraries do, and a make install after the make fails will install 
them, and they then do work with xsane/sane very nicely!

Not to my knowledge.  The only link involving /dev/sda is a link 
from /dev/camera to /dev/sda1, made because my camera, an Olympus 
C-3020, is a vfat file system once the usb cable is plugged in and 
usbfilesystem is loaded.  I finally built it into the kernel cause 
I kept forgetting to load it, with me beating my head trying to 
figure out why it doesn't work this time when it just did last 
week.  "Senior moments" you know.

Maybe somebody has run into it before and will check in.
