Hi all,

is this problem already solved?
Last few days I have had the same problem with camstream and camorama using a Logitech Webcam C600 on Debian Lenny.
The apps webcam and skype are running well with this webcam.
About one hour ago I installed luvcview, which uses the mmap() access to the v4l2 device as default. I tried to switch to the read() access but the access failed.
I don't know very much about all v4l2 system specific functions but it seams that this is the problem of camstream and camorama: Both uses the read()-access instead of the mmap() access but the cam don't provide this kind of access.

Greetings
Marc
