Thanks for your response. Maybe I do not understand properly. I
understood that the 'Debian way' of doing permission things was by
adding users to groups. For example, if a user wants to do ppp, she
should be member of 'dip'.
If I look at /dev/video0, I get:

  crw-rw----    1 root     video     81,   0 Oct  3 17:19 /dev/video0

So I assume my membership of group 'video' should work.
Also, if I start xawtv when logged in as root, the problems are
identical.

Not sure how to proceed...
