I am trying to prove to various people that they can run an effective basic videoconferencing utility they can use linux and gnomemeeting. However, I am having problems with getting various bits set up. I have plugged my microphone in and the webcam. In YAST2 when I select HW info, it lists the correct USB Cam that I have, but I can't get xawtv to even start (it says /dev/video0 no such device). When I try a basic "rec -d /dev/dsp myfile.wav" it appears to record, but with no sound on playback. I have looked at volume control and the Mic is set up to rec. If I just speak into the mic without anything running, I can hear myself(!) I know this is a lot of queries, but if anyone can help.....
