slack 10.2 firewire capture


ok i've been searching for hours and i don't even remember anything i've read anymore, so i'd like to hear some suggestions as to why i can't get my firewire card to capture video from my camera.

when i run dvgrab i get "Error: no camera exists"

when i run kino, i press capture and it times out waiting for my camera to start playing, which it is.

cinelerra crashes as soon as i click on "Record"

it obviously sounds like the card isn't recognizing the camera, or the system isn't recognizing the card. thing is, i have two firewire inputs, one PCI, and one on-board. both produce the same result.

i needlessly tried a modprobe but i got a big fat "failed", which didn't surprise me, as the modules have been built-in and apparantly loaded at boot, according to dmesg.

any suggestions?

also, i was able to capture on (*gasp*) windows, so i know the camera works.

im running 10.2, and 2.6.16.11.

update:

at the request of something i read on another site, i recompiled the kernel with 1394 built as modules. all the modules are loaded, and i get the same results as above.

i have installed libraw, libavc, libdv among others that don't come to mind at the moment.
