	Hi Thad,

	Have you tried any of the Video for Linux programs aside from VIC to 
see if the cameras work? http://www.exploits.org/v4l/
	You should also see the appropriate /dev/video* devices there too if 
the modules are loaded; do they exist?
	Also, for my own Linux video cameras I have to do the following in a 
startup script:

setv4l /dev/video0 brightness 32768 hue 32768 colour 64000 contrast 
32768 whiteness 0

setv4l /dev/video1 brightness 32768 hue 32768 colour 64000 contrast 
32768 whiteness 0

	So, you might try that too?

	Derek
