WebCam3 USB problem



Hi, everybody!

	I'm trying to configure a webcam3 USB in my 2.3.99-pre6 Linux
box, but when I run xawtv it gives an error message saying that
there's no /dev/video device.

Here is the situation:

cartman:~# cat /proc/devices 
Character devices:
  1 mem
  2 pty
  3 ttyp
  4 ttyS
  5 cua
  7 vcs
 10 misc
 81 video_capture	<======= Should it be 180 ? (see below)
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
180 usb			<=======  ????

Block devices:
  3 ide0
 
cartman:~# cat /proc/modules
ov511                  22100   0 (unused) <== This is the driver
					      for w3cam usb
serial                 41284   1 (autoclean)
videodev                3072   0 [ov511]
nfs                    49652   0
lockd                  41300   0 [nfs]
sunrpc                 60516   0 [nfs lockd]
tulip                  33244   1

cartman:~# ls -al /dev/video
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 May 10 20:38 /dev/video -> video0
cartman:~# ls -al /dev/video0
crw-rw----    1 root     video     81,   0 May 10 20:38 /dev/video0

	May someone give me any sugestions?

	Thanks in advance!
