This sounds peculiar. On my system, /dev/video is a directory and so
could not be made to link elsewhere. With some programs, you need to
specify the video device as /dev/video0. I recall at least one program
had a problem where I had to edit the source code to change the default
video device.
Try the following:
xawtv -hwscan
Here's what I get:
[stevec@doogles dev]$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.54, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.9-34)
