I have some information here. I installed v4l-conf and here is what I find upon running $ v4l-info > v4l.info ioctl VIDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argument ioctl VIDIOCGAUDIO: Invalid argument ioctl VIDIOCGFBUF: Invalid argument
Camorama shows a the IOCTL errors often. Also, I find that the permissions on the device /dev/video0 are the following: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2008-11-14 21:51 /dev/video0 I am also attaching the v4l.info file that I generated above. Please help. Thanks, Balaji On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 5:49 PM, Balaji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Any inputs anyone?
