I bought a cheapo USB IBM cam ($20 at best buy) since there's a module which purportedly supports this cam (ibmcam.o) (verified by FCC identifier listed in kernel docs). I've got video4linux set up as a module (videodev.o). When I try to use the cam with 'xawtv' in 2.4.0-test11, the application starts (but the cam doesn't work; a problem to be worked out later). When I run 'xawtv' in 2.4.1 I get an error stating that /dev/video doesn't exist. But it does! It's a symlink to /dev/video0 which has the correct major/minor numbers. I assume that this is a problem with v4l, but I don't know how to approach the problem. I'm new to working with video/framegrabbers and USB in linux, so I don't know what questions to be asking... --------------------------- -=<(| mike@boobaz.net |)>=- .
