I got one of these cheap Chinese cards from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0152351656

I tried xawtv and this is the result:
----------------------------------------------------------
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.17-10mdv)
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
-----------------------------------------------------------
As I'm new to ZM I don't know what to do now.
Help!

Kate says lspci in /usr/bin/ is an executable and shows a lot of cryptic signs

Here is dmesg from /var/log/:

Nope i got the same thing, the only entry in the kernel is the pci-id.
Would seem that this card is not supported by linux at this time.
