usb/xawtv help needed

[Joel Hammer]

I have no idea how many of my comments are relevant to your webcam problem
but you did say "anybody."
I have a video capture card. 
I have the same /dev/video0 device and a videodev module loaded.  I am using kwintv,
not xawtv, but xawtv seems to need the bttv driver, which you don't list
with lsmod.
Here is the complete list of modules I have for my video capture card and
for my usb game pad:
bttv                   57508   0  (unused)
tuner                   3988   1
tda9875                 2380   0  (unused)
tda7432                 2560   0  (unused)
msp3400                13620   0  (unused)
videodev                2944   2  [bttv]
i2c-algo-bit            7444   1  [bttv]
i2c-dev                 4080   0  (unused)
i2c-core               12556   0  [bttv tuner tda9875 tda7432 msp3400
i2c-algo-bit i2c-dev]
hid                    12016   0  (unused)
usb-uhci               21720   0  (unused)
usbcore                27940   0  [hid usb-uhci]
evdev                   3624   0  (unused)
joydev                  6212   0  (unused)
input                   3264   0  [hid evdev joydev]     

Have you visited the xawtv home page?

I maybe (just guessing) they use the same
modules.On Fri, Apr 19, 2002 at 09:19:08PM -0700, Net Llama! wrote:
