Got this
root@xxxxxxx:/home/akm/sm > lsmod
Module Size Used by
mod_quickcam 28768 0 (unused)
videodev 4992 0 [mod_quickcam]
So I can't load another module of the same name.
/dev/video was already pointing to /dev/video0 but I may not have had

This is xawtv-3.43, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.4-64GB-SMP)
x11: 1024x768, 16 bit/pixel, 2048 byte/scanline, DGA
can't open /dev/video: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
open /dev/video: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video: No such device
no video grabber device available
# man xawtv
# man v4l
not v helpful
it is /dev/video that I am tripping up on, and I'm not sure what it is that I
don't know.
How can I determine which device _file_ is actually connected to the USB port?
Clearly something can talk to that physical port, since the usbview program
can see the camera.
