I have hooked a Logitech webcam to linux26 which is recognised. When I run
gqcam
nothing happens.

Neither anything happens with
xawtv

There are two xawtv programs at multimedia video

xawtv and xawtv (xwatv)

The first one asks for 4 steps and aborts saying no channel found. Anad anyway nothing happens afterwords. Both programs gqcam and xawtv just disappear !!!

Any ideas ?
