This is with webcamd compiled with debug support.

Creating /dev/input/event0

I really think that it has some problems with the controller.
When I run webcamd against the mouse I get some kind data from the
evdev.
Well - I had to reboot after testing with the mouse, but probably
it was disabled by default for a reason.
So my assumption is that I have to look up my problem somewhere between
webcamd and the USB device.
