Hi.

Did you find a solution for this problem? I have a similar situation on Debian.

When I send a [driver 1( message and then [device /dev/video1394/0( to pix_video i get :

initializing: Inappropriate ioctl for device

If I send [driver 0( message I get

get capabilities: Inappropriate ioctl for device

This happens with unibrain's fire-i firewire board camera which works under coriander no problem. I use it with openFrameworks also. It doesn't work with dvgrab. http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/Fire_i_BC.htm

A sony minidv firewire camera does work with pix_video however.

Since my Debian system is a mess I downloaded a pure:dyne's leek and potato to test the camera and had the same results.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've searched the mail archives and every resource I could think of. I'm new to linux so maybe I'm missing some basic stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

ciao.
