Thanks for your response. Maybe I do not understand properly. I understood that the 'Debian way' of doing permission things was by adding users to groups. For example, if a user wants to do ppp, she should be member of 'dip'. If I look at /dev/video0, I get: crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Oct 3 17:19 /dev/video0 So I assume my membership of group 'video' should work. Also, if I start xawtv when logged in as root, the problems are identical. Not sure how to proceed... -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
