I have zone minder working to a point. I am using 2 webcams, one of them is built into my aspire one running ubuntu 9.04. When I try to see a feed from either camera (they are both set up as monitors), I only get a black screen with no time stamp. The other is a usb logitech. I installed gspcav and am able to see the logitech camera from xawtv. I can't see the laptop camera from it, but I can see it from skype. Here are chunks from my various log files:

Sorry if any of that is repetitive, but I am not 100% sure what it all means. Is this just driver problems? Let me know if I should post any more output from different commands. I would appreciate any help, even a point in the right direction.
No camera feed on ubuntu
