I am trying to install a Webcam to my Debian 2.2 Laptop. I run kernel 2.2.17 and have installed the backport to get usb working. This seems to work. Also I have the camera operational and I have installed xawtv which (according to people who have done so) can be used to display the camera image. If I start:
xawtv -c /dev/video -geometry 352x288-0+0 I get: This is xawtv-3.06, running on Linux/i686 (2.2.17) visual: id=0x22 class=4 (TrueColor), depth=16 x11: 1024x768, 16 bit/pixel, 2048 byte/scanline, DGA, VidMode can't open /dev/video: Operation not permitted waitpid: No child processes v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway open /dev/video: Operation not permitted can't open /dev/video: Operation not permitted waitpid: No child processes v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway open /dev/video: Operation not permitted no video grabber device available I have added myself to the group video, that should be okay. ls -l /dev/video shows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 3 17:19 /dev/video -> video0 Have I overlooked some obvious thing? Thanks a lot. -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
