Webcam in an i386 chroot (on an amd64)
I recently upgraded my system to amd64 and now I am trying to set up an
i386 jail for those programs that do not run natively on amd64. I want
to use my webcam, which works well outside the chroot; however, 32-bit
programs do not manage to access the device.
Examples of error messages:
$ schroot -p xawtv
I: [sid32-8d1fa3f9-ee58-4f25-b3e6-5453ba4d40c3 chroot] Running command:
"xawtv"
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.21-amd64-bootsplash)

I have tried to STFW, but no luck. Any suggestion?
