Using a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 in Linux Problem


Hey guys

I got logitech quickcam pro 4000 and trying to run it under fedora core 1. Here is the error message

$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.22-1.2199.nptl)
/dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support

New problem arrised. So far everything works great however when i do a recording and then run the recorded avi file with xine I can see myself well everythign is cool. But then after i kill xine and want to continue using the webcam it doesnt work anymore all i see is black screen and i cant see myself moving in it at all. I tried recording the file anyway and then when i ran it with xine again i could see myself as a recorded file but not live view. I tried killing xawtv then restarting but same problem. All i get is black screen nothing else. And this happens right after i used xine to view a recorded file. Its like i need to refresh the webcam view to see myself again. Is there a way to do that?

Also every time i reboot my machine i have to constantly load the same module into kernel is there a way for it to save it in there so i dont need to do that after every reboot?
