[cpia] Creative Webcam II (Parallel) problems

[Sam Reynolds]

Well i did this stuff and made some progress.  Everything looks great
except when i try to run gqcam.  The first time I run it it Seg
Faults.  From then on it says /dev/video: device or resource
busy.  Although it does not appear in lsof.  The parport_probe found the
camera and the cpia_pp said "1 camera found".  I have permissions to
/dev/video0 which is what /dev/video points at.  Any ideas?
