(I just sent you a reply to your private message, before I saw this post.)

The DCS-900 won't do grayscale, I tried setting ZM to grayscale to see what would happen and got the blank (black) image too. I didn't check for error messages, so I never noticed that. Just set ZM to color (24bit) and you should be fine.

dcs-900: solved

Post by willy »

ok, setting 24 bit color image solved this problem...
After that i had to modify shared memory size (echo 134217728 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax && echo 134217728 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall ) to finally get workig this camera.

thanx
