I can't get my DCS-900 cameras to work in 640 X 480 resolution using Ubuntu. Just shows a broken image.They work perfectly in 320X240 though. I've played with this for over a year now using Ubuntu 5.04 to 8.04. They work great in 640X480 using the ZM live cd as well. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen? Does anyone else have theirs working with Ubuntu?
Thanks.

Check your shared memory settings. I bet the Live CD has different ones from your installed environment.

Glad you got it going though.

How about a heading like :My cameras won't display video at higher resolutions: on top of the heading :What does a 'Can't shmget: Invalid argument' error in my logs mean?
Not everyone knows how to read and interpret error logs but they'd still like to be able to use linux without devoting their lives to it.
At least this heading might show up using the search function.
Wango Tango!!
