Hi there, Having some issue getting Xawtv to run with my Creative Labs USB Web Cam.
Here's what I done so far. 1. I do a chmod 777 /dev/video0 to allow all users access to the video device. 2. Do a lsmod with the following output ov511 83576 0 videodev 8288 1 [ov511] mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5888 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [ov511 hid usb-uhci] ext3 70368 2 jbd 52212 2 [ext3] >From what I can tell the ov511 USB device driver has been loaded correctly. 3. Do a modinfo -p ov511 with the following output: autobright int, description "Sensor automatically changes brightness" autogain int, description "Sensor automatically changes gain" autoexp int, description "Sensor automatically changes exposure" (plus a whole heap more) 4. I then run xawtv as a normal user and get the following error: This is xawtv-3.74, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.18-14) can't open /dev/video0: No such device or address v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device or address v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device or address no video grabber device available 5. Do a ls -l on /dev/video0 and get the following: crwxrwxrwx 1 carl root 81, 0 Aug 31 09:31 /dev/video0 Any ideas on why I can't open the device with xawtv? I've found other documents that match my steps and according to them it should be working by now: http://linux-sxs.org/usb511.html Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
