Xawtv doesnt see the camera though, but I will work on that :)
Try telling it the device to use, for example, xawtv -c /dev/video0
This is not the problem. the kernel-built-in pwc is an older version (version 9) which cannot give pictures larger than 160x120 pixel. If you request larger pictures, the driver gives grey pictures (Color 0x808080). If i download and install the version 10 as a kernel module (and delete the built in module) anythink work as expected. But the new driver seems not to be 100 % compatible with the old pwcx Driver, i have to initialize the driver _twice_ until it works: ioctl(fd, VID_HARDWARE_PWC); ioctl(fd, VIDIOCPWCFACTORY); and don't know why. Perhaps xawtv don't know this. But at first, try the new driver version 10. mit freundlichen Grüßen Bernd Melchers -- Archiv- und Backup-Service | fab-service@zedat.fu-berlin.de Freie Universität Berlin | Tel. (030) 838-55905
