Hi Dark Lord. This is xawtv-3.85, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-0.13mdk) /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway config: invalid value for input: composite1 valid choices for "input": "Webcam" ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=7): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=3): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=4): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=5): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=13): Invalid argument X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Resource id in failed request: 0x2a0004b Serial number of failed request: 467 Current serial number in output stream: 467 For some reason, also, the view window changes to grab. Is that what you expect? I've never seen this running, so I don't know what to expect, other than a webcam picture.
