I think that the problem is, that XawTV uses either /dev/video (which is a symlink to a real video device) or /dev/videoX where X - of course - is different from 0 :) So, i would suggest you do this: $ cd /dev $ dir video* let's say you get something like this: video -> video3 video2 video3 then you can symlink to video0 to the target of video: ln -s video video0 (or in this case, indirectly through the other symlink) That might make it work Regards, Christian Iversen
