ubuntu 10.04 dekstop+ Goki gq-695q + Bt848 4 port black mon?

[alltech]

Its been since last year I had this operating. Now need to use it again but the system went down. I have installed zone minder and comes up with /localhost/zm. Myqsl is configured to the best of my knowledge. I can get video on xawtv. I am getting a black screen on Monitor-1 for the camera. Here is the info from my server running on Ubuntu desktop 10.04

I am using this site as a reference for configuration of zoneminder. http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... 10_Desktop

Thanks for your help

I finally got my zoneminder to work! The options were probably wrong and read the settings from another site.

I also switched my source to NTSC "After reading this is the right standard to use as of yesterday" I selected grb24 and now its working. the only downside is it is slow for one camera. I have the single bt848 chinese chipset camera. My Dell is a dual core older desktop model.

I will have to possibly cut down on services running.
