When you change settings for the camera in ZM do you also restart ZM? That's important.

You did do a ZoneMinder restart and xlib_shm restart after changing resolution? That's crucial!

I use Ubuntu server 8.04 on all machines.

I use the half of full PAL:

Capture Width (pixels):384
Capture Height (pixels):288

Maybe that works....

I'm not really sure that this is to do with shared memory. My guess is it has something to do with PAL/NTSC or RGB/YUY422/etc. But, after you edited the /etc/sysctl.conf file, did you reboot? Or execute the command to reset the system to the values int the sysctl.conf file? Still a weird problem... ...

For testing purposes I have connected an online and public Axis 213 PTZ webcam to our ZoneMinder installation. This works great! The camera itself van be viewed by anyone and has a MJPEG stream of about 4-7 FPS. When I look at the camera from our ZoneMinder console, it all works, but there is a non-...

Can you make a screenshot?

I use Xlib_shm on the Zoneminde PC. This works great! I have info on this in my blog. It's pretty easy to set up, and works great!

Is the quality of the windows viewer better??? WTF!

Can you post the output of: and: Both commands after you plugged in the camera

Use Xlib_shm, that's briliant!

I documented it for our own server:

Something like this would be excellent!

Would the work done with xlib_shm be of any help? This also grab images directly from Zoneminder (as far as I understand it).
