I have no idea how many of my comments are relevant to your webcam problem but you did say "anybody." I have a video capture card. I have the same /dev/video0 device and a videodev module loaded. I am using kwintv, not xawtv, but xawtv seems to need the bttv driver, which you don't list with lsmod. Here is the complete list of modules I have for my video capture card and for my usb game pad: bttv 57508 0 (unused) tuner 3988 1 tda9875 2380 0 (unused) tda7432 2560 0 (unused) msp3400 13620 0 (unused) videodev 2944 2 [bttv] i2c-algo-bit 7444 1 [bttv] i2c-dev 4080 0 (unused) i2c-core 12556 0 [bttv tuner tda9875 tda7432 msp3400 i2c-algo-bit i2c-dev] hid 12016 0 (unused) usb-uhci 21720 0 (unused) usbcore 27940 0 [hid usb-uhci] evdev 3624 0 (unused) joydev 6212 0 (unused) input 3264 0 [hid evdev joydev]
Have you visited the xawtv home page? Joel I maybe (just guessing) they use the same modules.On Fri, Apr 19, 2002 at 09:19:08PM -0700, Net Llama! wrote: > Actually, i think i've made some progress.
