I checked that the ov511 module was present in the kernel - it is. I then plugged in the webcam, and got a message saying compression support was needed - and was enabled. Looking good at this pint. I then tried xawtv's webcam command, and it gives me: v4l2: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented v4l2: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented v4l: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented I tried using Gnomemeeting, but when the configuration wizard runs, it finds no video input devices. So what needs to be done to make the device visible to the system? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
