Hello,
I have been trying to get my webcam working under Knoppix, with only few results.
The model is a Logitech quickcam Pro 4000 (usb), and i experience the following symptoms :
when i use : xawtv -c /dev/video0 it recognizes the webcam and starts up xawtv. However the image of xawtv is green, entirely. When i move my hand in front of the webcam, i can see a little change in color, but nothing is actually visible.
when i use gqcam, it shows a very tiny square in the middle of the gqcam screen, and in the top of this square are three smaller squares, showing a black and white picture of what my webcam is aimed at.
When i move my hand in front of the cam, it shows my moving hand in almost real time.
It seems i configured some things right, but i can not get a good image on my screen.
Can somebody please give me a little help on how to get a clear and colorfull image out of my Logitech ?
If you need any further information i can post it ofcourse.
Thank you very much.
