I have a philips webcam PCVC675. I loaded modules pwc and pwcx. I run xawtv. The screen is black, and on stdout I see the following: This is xawtv-3.54, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.7-2smp) /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=5,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=4,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=1,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=7,size=128x96): Invalid argument no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) May I know, please, how do get this webcam recognized, and working under Xawtv ? thank you, and regards, -Greg Hosler +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or software that's available on time.
