I kind of did the same for /dev/v4l
-bash-4.1# ls -la v4l/ totaal 0 drwxrwx---. 4 root motion 80 sep 21 21:28 . drwxrwxrwx. 21 root root 3820 sep 21 21:28 .. drwxrwx---. 2 root motion 60 sep 21 21:28 by-id drwxrwx---. 2 root motion 60 sep 21 21:28 by-path -bash-4.1#
still no luck. error message persists.

hello Mark and Keith,
I also think a have the driver, because of what dmesg shows.
mark could be right, I had a similar issue with a firewire camera, Kino and /dev/raw1394.
So a did this :
-bash-4.1# groupadd motion -bash-4.1# chgrp motion video0 -bash-4.1# usermod -G motion james -bash-4.1# id james uid=500(james) gid=500(james) groepen=500(james),503(motion) -bash-4.1# ls -la video0 crw-rw----+ 1 root motion 81, 0 sep 21 21:28 video0 -bash-4.1#
hope this is right.
But still same error message, even after reboot ( didn't want to but battery went dead )
So still no video...
greetings, James

Perfectly good English. And it did tell you the problem: access rights. Look at the driver - it might be /dev/video or /dev/video0 - and check the permissions. It may be installed, but only root has rw privileges. If that's the case, one option would be to make it owned by root, but group motion, and add yourself to that group.
