How do I INstall my WebCam
Hi,
Here is the output from my
'xawtv'
command:
*************************************************************************
This is xawtv-3.74, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.18-14)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available
***********************************************************************************
My red hat box says that there is a Intel Easy PC Camera connected to my USB HUb.Now how do I add this to my /dev/video0 device?
Thankx in advance...

Do (as root) "cd /dev/" followed by "./MAKEDEV video" then "chmod 666 video*" (note that the MAKEDEV command is uppercase), then run xawtv again.
