I have at last successfully loaded Zoneminder 1.23 on a Jaunty system (it used to be karmic, but I dumped that!).
I use a pico2000 equivalent card (Big Brother Stealth Au4 XP - AEI technologies), with 4 Swann SW-D-DODC PAL colour cameras, 628x582 effective pixels, 380TVL.
The chip used is exactly the same as the one shown on the tutorial at:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... _interface
Everything works great, except for the 4 black screens...
I did everything that the tutorial tells me to do and still the black screens.
I did remove the bttv.conf file as apparently this sometimes works, but not for me, so I stuck it back again (card77)
I've done sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0, but to no avail.
This is the result of lsmod:

Looks good, but doesn't mean anything to me.
I get lovely pictures on xawtv, albeit with a couple of errors:
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.28-16-generic)

Thanks.
