Sometimes you just have to do the windows thing I guess, at least until you learn how to start the darn thing in console. HTH Hmmm...nope, still getting the same thing - /dev/video No such file or directory. Guess its time to start searching the web. Thanks anyways, Dennis. Take a look in the Mandrake Control Centerhardware and look at unknown/other and see if the webcam is listed. Mine shows up as a Xirlink Inc. C-it WebCam. Thought it was using an ibm driver but can't find a reference for that so must have been my imagination. So if it shows up there at least you know the usb connection is functioning. HTH OK, in continuing troubleshooting this problem I've been having getting my webcam going, I ran in a console, as root, tail -f /var/log/messages. I then plugged my webcam into the USB port, and it told me that no driver claimed the device. OK, so probably not going to be able to get that cam going, no big deal. But, watching the messages scroll by I saw two things that got my attention: Feb 17 16:05:55 slammingrooves sensord: Sensor alarm: Chip via686a-isa-6000: CPU core: +1.73 V (min = +1.98 V, max = +2.49 V) [ALARM] followed by: Feb 17 16:05:55 slammingrooves sensord: Sensor alarm Chip via686a-isa-6000: CPU Fan: 2934 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) [ALARM] Now, I have the sensor output showing in gkrellm, and the fan speed is virtually always at 2990 rpm. The temp will occasionally go as high as 42, but is usually around 39, where it is right now. Are either of these warnings something I should be concerned about? I've no experience with this kind of thing, and I understand the temp reading is usually ballpark, at best, but what about that CPU core voltage? Am I within acceptable guidelines (sensor alarms notwithstanding), or should I be worried about this? Thanks... Roger, I think the alarm is showing because your readout is below the minimums set in the sensor config. I use ksensors and have had to reduce the minimums to reset the alarm for lowvoltage and low rpms. HTH Right, I figured that part, but what I really want to know is, should I be worried about the amounts showing, especially with the voltage? I have no problem ignoring the message so long as I know that I'm not powering the CPU incorrectly. -- peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

FWIW I used to have a problem under w2k with the mobo sensors showing low voltages and setting off alarms all over. I talked to the mobo supplier, who said that if there really was a problem with voltages critically low I would have had endless trouble with my installed system. Since I hadn't it was most likely a problem with the sensor software. I downloaded the update, and all was well after thatl.

Thanks anyways, Dennis. Roger, on the original thread... I tried using Gqcam with my Logitech 3000 here, and it never would work either. I got /dev/video is a directory. Using Gnomemeeting, I figured out that my cam was /dev/video1. So, from info on the 'Net, I started Gqcam with: gcam -v /dev/video1 and it did work. Really lousy picture - but it did work.
