hello Mark and Keith,
I also think a have the driver, because of what dmesg shows.
mark could be right, I had a similar issue with a firewire camera, Kino
and /dev/raw1394.
So a did this :
-bash-4.1# groupadd motion
-bash-4.1# chgrp motion video0
-bash-4.1# usermod -G motion james
-bash-4.1# id james
uid=500(james) gid=500(james) groepen=500(james),503(motion)
-bash-4.1# ls -la video0
crw-rw----+ 1 root motion 81, 0 sep 21 21:28 video0
-bash-4.1#
hope this is right.
But still same error message, even after reboot ( didn't want to but
battery went dead )
So still no video...
greetings, James
