I've spent the day installing Zoneminder on Gentoo 2.6.19r5. Everything seems ok, as fdar as I can tell, but the Philips webcam on /dev/video0 is permanently red
The Webcam seems to be seen by the kernel and loaded but the source starys RED all the time. I don't have X loaded as it's a server - do I absolutely have to? The last time I installed X it took me all week....
Can anyone offer a few tips on where to troubleshoot from here?
