Hi,
After installing ZM (Opensuse-10.2). I have no images in the montage.
The windows appear.
In the top left, a favicon with "new" listed next to it. Below, "Status: Idle - 0.00 fps". It actively seeks information, however, in properties it list a file size of zero.
Any suggestions...

DO you have images in the normal monitor view, are you capturing images etc
Sounds like you have a cam config error to me

Hi,
I just returned from holiday, sorry for not responding.
I have no images anywhere. I am using a DVR card and all drivers are showing installed correctly. The drivers listed are the same as the drivers I am using in Window’s XP pro which work fine (dual boot).

What card?
Have you tried xawtv?
What modprobe options are you using?
Post your lspci and dmesg here as well.

Hi,
The card is non branded 16 channel, using Philips SAA7130 chip.
I am new to linux, so I do not know what xawtv, modprobe, lspci and, dmesg does.
what do I do?

You will need to learn linux
I put a few links at the bottom of this link that have tutorials and such that help new linux users.

Additionally, I recommend http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Always give as much information as you can. Some short explanation as to why.

We need to know what card. Post a link to a picture. That is because some cards are autodetected, but most are not. We know a lot of them...

lspci is a command to show what is on your PCI bus. dmesg is a list of what Linux thinks is on your pci bus. modprobe is a way to tell Linux what is really on your pci bus. xawtv is a way to test video capture.

this might help you with your card
