I checked nearly everything in FAQ, the threads here, played around with configuration, checked Perl modules.

What else can I try or check?

Even an USB-Cam does not work, which works with motion.

TIA

Hmm, got now an USB cam to work.

But zm seems to crash my video system (cannot watch via xawtv or gqcam after start/stop of zm), or crashes parts of apache (get empty windows after click on the links in the zm console, http://localhost/ does not work).

Another funny thing happend, which needed a reboot:

After 'lsusb' the process with command 'khubd' looped.

zm seems to do some very bad things.
