stellenpower, please don't change the status of your own bug report!
also, you should attach the requested outputs as attachment files, not inside the comments
thank you

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

it seems the tv tuner might be the equinux tubestick:

stellenpower, can you confirm this?

i was wrong earlier: the "147a:e017 Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc." seems to be a usb infrared dongle

stellenpower, was the webcam attached to your computer when you ran the lsusb command above?

[steltenpower (ubuntu-steltenpower)]

"WinFast DTV Dongle Gold BDA Device" is what Vista's "safely remove hardware" menu calls the digital TV tuner

the webcam is inside the laptop. Pressing the special webcam button (which turns it on/off under Vista) didn't make a change.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

Can you confirm that the TV-tuner dongle is this one?
http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=231

Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.

Please paste into a comment the output of "uname -a".

Thank you

i can see from dmesg that it's loading the lirc_dev and lirc_mceusb2 (lirc = linux infrared remote control), but that's it...

steltenpower, can you confirm the usb tv-tuner is the one in the link i pasted? (leadtek winfast dtv dongle)

also, what is the make and model of your laptop?

thank you
