I believe I also have Linux kernel version 2.4.19 (# kernelversion => 2.4),
and I tried to use both xawtv and quickcam-tt's testquickcam app. Both
responded with that they were unable to open 'video0' (or videodev).

I am trying to move all WebCam server activities to my Linux PC. Which
ideally includes the RCX webcontrol (like WebRCX and WebBrick).
(interesting url! I should read it thouroughly once ;) )
> What application did you try to run?
As mentioned above: xawtv 3.76 and testquickcam (qce-ga-0.40c).
At the moment I am experiencing the problem, that xawtv can't locate the
file libXv.so.1, a file that definetely is present in /usr/X11R6/lib.
> Do you have the videodev driver?
The videodev driver is the video4linux (v4l) driver, which is present in
recent linux kernel's, right? Then the answer is: Yes I have it...
A lsmod gives me (after insmod-ing the mod_quickcam (quickcam-tt) driver):
Module Size Used by Not tainted
mod_quickcam 64480 0 (unused)
videodev 5088 0 [mod_quickcam]
ide-cd 27296 0 (autoclean)
cdrom 28608 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd]

ipchains 38952 0
usb-uhci 21764 0 (unused)
usbcore 51712 1 [mod_quickcam usb-uhci]
(N.B. this is also the status after plugging in the camera)
> Anything interesting in your system log?
The systemlog (/var/log/messages) doesn't mention anything special about
video or usb devices. (By the way: I do not load the QC drivers at startup).
I am rather new to Linux still, but books and the internet help ;)
Thank you in advance!
