Here is what i get with xawtv: $ xawtv -c /dev/video (-hwscan does not detect the camera) This is xawtv-3.92, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.6) can't open /dev/video: No such device v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video: No such device v4l2: open /dev/video: No such device v4l: open /dev/video: No such device And v4l-conf gives this: # v4l-conf v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=0xd8000000 can't open /dev/video0: No such device At this point i am wondering if this has something to do with /etc/modules.conf file. I mean it has no entries in there as of now dealing with 'videodev/webcam' or actually anything at all dealing with video in general. Could this be the problem, and if so, what do i have to add to modules.conf? I know i am supposed to make a file in /etc/modutils and then just run update-modules in Debian Sid. But what should go in that file? Thanks. I am using Kernel 2.6.6 on Debian Sid with a Epox via KT266 mobo. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
