video input not working

[Joerg Beyer]

Hello,

my webcam is not working, probably because I could not read from /dev/video

joerg at phb:~$ cat /dev/video
cat: /dev/video: Function not implemented
joerg at phb:~$ ls -la /dev/video*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      6 May 25 11:21 /dev/video -> video0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 May 25 11:21 /dev/video0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root  81, 1 May 25 11:19 /dev/video1

So permnissions should be OK.

When I plug the usb webcam on, then I see this in /var/log/messages.

That looks fine to me.

Anything I miss?

	thanks in advance
