Hi,
I've just installed linux on a new system trying to
get familar with it. I tried connecting my webcam (kensington model 67016) to
it. Using the "xawtv -hwscan" command, it nicely lists the webcam. However if
type just "xawtv" the LED on the camera goes on (and stays on until reboot),
the window stays black and the console reports:
This is xawtv-3.74, running on Linux/i686
(2.4.18-14)
/dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=7,size=160x120): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=3,size=160x120): Invalid argument v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? Has anyone suggestions how to move on?
Peter
