Early on, I made sure xawtv worked with the command:

No problem. Note that this is via a BT878 4-port Hauppage card.
After much huge struggle installing ZM and it's amazing number of dependencies, I got to a point where the apache log was absolutely error-free, ZM still wouldn't show a camera. I was going nuts. On a lark I re-tried xawtv again - and nothing doing. Huh?
Since the instructions I'd followed had built a ZM .deb file, I was able to go into Synaptic and manually remove ZM. Reboot, and xawtv still fails:
So *something* in the ZM build instructions "broke xawtv" in some fashion.
What the...

/var/log/dmesg seems to show a valid BT878 startup, as far as I can tell:
I'm approaching real desperation here...sob!
