Think the required module went in ok:

testerm...@marvin:/$ lsmod

But nothing seems to recognise the usb quick cam is there: eg.

testerm...@marvin:/$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-4-486)

    name : video4linux

port 61-61
    type : Xvideo, image scaler

/dev/video0: OK                         [ -device /dev/video0 ]
    type : v4l2
    name : BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878))
    flags: overlay capture tuner


How do I assign video0 to the webcam please?

TIA
Mike

PS I am assuming that quickcam_messenger is the right module of course!
I am using an older style logitech quickcam.
