Hmm, Well the output is just

Is this an image..??

You must know your image size to decode it properly. But it will work. You can use raw2ppm or something for that. You should see lots of data sent from the driver (megabytes) until you ^C the process (or cat stops on its own, being unable to deal with EOF event). The log that you provided is correct. I see that only one open() was done, and no data was sent to userspace. > [root@ip21 videox]# date > Mon Dec 10 16:17:53 PST 2001 > [root@ip21 videox]# ./vctrl /dev/video0 320x240x24 > getting video format: Invalid argument Nothing in the log about this. Maybe videodev rejected the ioctl? ibmcam would have logged the error. Did you try `xawtv -remote -c /dev/video0` ? I don't remember any more :-( The ibmcam driver offers only BGR24 format, and can deal with image sizes below certain maximum (defined by the camera hardware). Your setting is correct, apparently.
