Hi,


I have Fedora Core 1 installed and would like to use my webcam, please let me know what suggestions you have. I have tried to run xawtv but I get the :
open /dev/video0: No such device

If I run lsusb, I can see that camera has been found :

Bus 002 Device 005: 040a:0001 Kodak DVC-323

What am I missing ?

Please help !

xawtv-3.88
Fedora Core 1(2.4.22-1.2115)

I have problems with xawtv and my webcam (is dificult to configure it properly) I try camstream and works well.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I installed camstream but unfortunately it does not recognize my camera (the device box is null). It is there, seem from the hardware browser it shows as connected to a USB. Kodak DVC-323

Any ideas ?

Do you also have a TV card or any other video device? Are you sure that your cam is /dev/video0 ? You can specify which device to use with xawtv with the -c switch

xawtv -c /dev/video1

I am also having some trouble with camstream - the program sees my TV card, but not my webcam. The webcam comes up in the lsusb results as well. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, let us know please.

When I run lsusb :

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0ea0:2168 Ours Technology, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 040a:0001 Kodak Co. DVC-323
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


and xawtv -c /dev/video1

This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
can't open /dev/video1: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video1: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video1: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video1: No such device
no video grabber device available

Please help.

Thanks again.

Neither the ATI nor the USB Camera work.

Are you sure your webcam is supported in linux? try searching in google
