Simple problem with video not working under 2.6

Hello,

I have recently come back to the computer after a long vacation and I find that I am unable to get software to work for my Slack 10.2 HP a1050y box running 2.6.16.18 as far as the webcam is concerned.

I was able to have some success on proior occasions (with earlier kernels) with the 'qce-ga" driver (modquickcam.o). The camera in question is a Logitech Quickcam color. In fact, I had a little shellscript that, once all the modules were loaded, would dump a screen grab to my www directory so I could run a dynamic web cam page with the music I was listening to, weather of the place I live, and so on.

That took a little tweaking of Cory Lueninghoener's "gqcam", so the color swap didn't mess things up.

Certainly I have had this problem before and overcome it but I do not know how to. I have the quickcam driver selected as included in the new kernel but it does say it is expirmental.

The machine recognizes it on startup:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Colour QuickCam for Video4Linux v0.05

However, when I run xawtv:

VMWindows backdoor
I have installed VMWare Workstation 5 on top of Debian 3.1 and it works very well. Really well. I use it to mostly to learn Linux more deeply and to try some of the more...

$ xawtv This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux-i686 (2.6.16.18) can't opendev-video0: No such device v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: opendev-video0: Permission denied v4l2: opendev-video0: Permission denied v4l: opendev-video0: Permission denied no video grabber device available

Just curious about the details of how you caught that infection. It never fails to amaze me that there are so many avenues for infecting a Windows machine. When I talked about direct connections I...

Or gqcam:

$ gqcamdev-video: Permission denied

And to see the permissions are correct, the below. Can anyone help me? A webcam would be great to make a starting point for a personal site, for which I've just gotten two new domains. Many thanks!
