I guess that their on-board i2c chips doesn't share the same address, but I don't know for sure.

If I combine my Buz and DC10+, they work. Same for 6 Eyes and DC10+. (Well, to some extent; there's a problem I planned to investigate further: My mjpegtools-1.9.0-0.5.rc2.fc8.i386 package records avi files that aren't recognized by lavplay or lavinfo, but can be played by mplayer. One could suspect liblavfile or some misconfiguration on Fedora's part.)

Unless those drivers work differently from the Buz/6 Eyes drivers, my guess is that /dev/video0 will work fine, while /dev/video1 complains about missing this or that chip. It will be very interesting to hear your report!

I posted a question regarding the i2c parts on the kernel list. So far I've not seen any reply, but with any luck, someone might have a good tip for me there.
