hi all i have a creative webcam... its a pd1001 model ... using ov511 chip and ov518 compression. well my problem is that everything is set ok. the kernel recognises it and loads the modules at startup. but when i try to run xawtv .... it doesnt show any pictures. please note that the camera works fine on windows 98. i am using mandrake 9.0. the following is the messages of xawtv when i run it from rxvt. ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=7,size=160x120): Invalid argument v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? ioctl: VIDIOCSYNC(0): Interrupted system call ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=5,size=160x120): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=4,size=160x120): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=1,size=160x120): Device or resource busy ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=13,size=160x120): Invalid argument no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) farhan Ali
