I had a webcam kicking around the house so I figured I might as well plug it into the my linux box and test it out seeing as the windows box it normally resides on is not operational at the moment.
I plugged in the cam (it's a D-Link DSB-C300... listed in the SxS as using the ov511 dirver) and the required modules loaded themselves. I also installed xawtv as the SxS suggested and gave it a shot. I do get some output from the camera get it is -incredibly- fuzzy and half the image is flashing green (does that mean it's actually interlaced or something). The output of v4l-conf: ---- v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 mode: 1024x768, depth=16, bpp=16, bpl=2048, base=0xd0000000 /dev/video0 [v4l2]: ioctl VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: Invalid argument /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support ---- I see there's an invalid argument error listed there... does this error mean that the program is incapable of getting the webcam's capabilities? Is there than any way that I can manually set things such as resolution? I've looked through the SxS, and the man pages pages for v4l-conf and xawtv but had no luck.
