The dev/video is linked to video0, this i did find in http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x370.html which is some of the documentation i have found. As for xawtv, i am only running in console mode to keep it simple and mainly run as a server/firewall. Let me know if im off some on this. And is there some way to see what /dev/video0 is connected to? In your xawtv you have /dev/video0 OK then the information on the device, what would be the console command? (cat /proc/bus/usb/devices has the camera listed, but how do i list what video0 is?)
