it was successful.....
add a new monitor
choose device 0
channel 0
NTSC
display size of 640 * 480
turns red on the /dev/video0(0)
orange on the monitor under the page!
so i download xawtv app and installed it
ran it !
switched to NTSC and video source television
freq---us-cable
capture grab display
AHHH... It works on this app ausome !!!
hummm...now what device is it ?
so i try every combination possible

channel 1 while video 0, 1, 2 etc....
nothing works ?
searching now for any logs for the zm
find / -name zm*.log
Nothing is found !
ARGGGGG!!!.....

Only /dev/video0?
I am a newbie, so maybe not much help, but I think I had the same problem.
First of all, it seems to me that you only have one device on /dev/video0. Is this correct?
Also have you tried disabling ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG as in the README:
"Also check the
system logs (usually /var/log/messages) for any video
configuration errors. If you get some and you're sure they're not
a problem then switch off ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG in zmconfig.pl or
the 'options' tab."

yes when i make changes i to resolution i tried to use
320*320 ?
and also 200*200 ?
any thing come to mind?
nothing seems to work though the program Xawtv works great !
it did turn to orange but i get no display...
i do see the Can't shmget: Invalid argument
which i read up on in the FAQ but ive got 512mb memory !
i tried echoing and then running and still no luck
any other idea's?
320*320 ?
and also 200*200 ?

Have you used xawtv or zmu in query mode (Something like "xawtv -hwscan" or "zmu -d 0 -q -v") to find out what the card thinks it's capable of? Some cards seem to have fairly fixed ideas of which modes they'll work in. Mine (in PAL mode) is happy to run at 768x576, 384x288 and 192x144 but not at something arbitrary like 700x500. Also, the error suppressed by the STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG flag does sometimes actually matter (with my card, resolution changes sometimes don't "take" properly), but the effects can be a bit strange.
Have you tried different colour modes?
The shared-memory limits are dictated by the kernel, and they don't automaticaly change to take account of the memory you have available, so even though you've got 512Mb installed you could find you're only allowing a few tens of Kbs to be used as shared-memory. The FAQ tells you how to increase the limits, and how to make sure the limit is set high enough at boot time too.
You will find that after some settings chaanges you have to stop ZM completely and then re-start it.
