Hi All,
ZoneMinder won't present images for me in the monitor popups, it appears I have a misconfiguration.
I've installed ZoneMinder from .deb. I've three /dev/video devices (0,1,2) and can view camera output from them with xawtv. I've set up three monitors (m1,m2,m3), bound them to the video devices using the web interface by assigning the Source Device Path (/dev/video0, etc) and Channel (none work, but composite2 should, so channel=2). The other settings are NTSC, RGB24, and 320x240.
The cards are running the saa7134 module with options "card=54,54,54 tuner=2,2,2 i2c_scan=1 alsa=1" and zmu sees the cards: "zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v ", however zmu sees the wrong card type (47 not the 54 assigned by modprobe/saa7134) -
zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v

The cards are saa7130 chipsets, like the LifeView 2000.
To date FireFox, Mozilla, and Konqueror all fail to show an image in the monitor popups, but the cgi paths are right (if I tweak them, no image frame is shown, when they are right, the "broken imge" icon is shown).
zmdc.log contains:

zmwatch.log contains lines like:

ipcs shows shared memory in use. No shared memory is committed until I try to view a monitor by clicking on the monitor name in the web gui, then I can see values like the below (Monitor 1 has been clicked, but not 2 or 3):
ipcs -m | grep www
0x7a6d2001 7372842 www-data 700 9217188 0
When I next try Monitor 2, it too shows up
ipcs -m | grep www
0x7a6d2001 7372842 www-data 700 9217188 0
0x7a6d2002 7405612 www-data 700 9217188 0
If I stop ZoneMinder, it releases the shared memory, but otherwise the allocations remain. When I restart ZoneMinder, the zmwatch log shows that Zoneminder is still looking for the shared memory that it just released:
ipcs -m | grep www
<no output->
ivyeyes:/tmp# tail zmwatch.log

And when ZoneMinder is restarted, the shared memory is re-allocated when I re-click the monitors, but again

Suggestions?
I _did_ assign a password to mysql, but I see nothing amiss there (the tables exist, are active and seem to be bound to the www-data user).

Working cameras fail with shared mem err & wrong card ty
Hum, I am having the same problem. My first camera (video0) is working just perfect, the second one (video1) causes the same failures you described. The permissions on my video devices should be correct:
Shared memory output:
The problem until I want to view the camera image within ZoneMinder:
And afterwards:
The machine is a dual-core Opteron with 4 GB system memory running Gentoo with kernel 2.6.21.5. The cameras are two identical Logitech webcams which both work if they're connected one after another. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

Seems like I narrowed down the problem. The kernel messages (DEALLOC error on init_Isoc) tell me that the issue is caused by USB bandwidth limitation. An option would be to add a USB extension card or something (presumably 
) but maybe this can be solved with a hacked gspcav1 driver...
Edit: a PCI extension card solved the problem...
