Anne, when you first ran Xawtv did you do it from shell? I ran it first from
the menu and it did not open up correctly, but not what you are describing.
Try running it from a shell - I did that and it "talked" <grin> as it worked
and told me what it found on my system. I finally figured out from what it
"said" that I had to do this to start it here:
xawtv -device /dev/video0
and it ran fine. Lemme know what happens! :-)
