hi

go backwards and confirm your webcam and you have the correct modules pls

lsusb......show us your usb ids for webcam

lsmod | grep usb......show us your results pls

i should have mentioned that the cam works with kopete and flash web sites.
heres the ismod

These are the modules for the web cam, you have listed

usbcore 185744 12........ gspca_zc3xx,gspca_main ......

first error

Quote:

QFont::setRawName(): Invalid XLFD: "system"

so the module is loaded,

Check your fonts and Qt installation, check the program requires/deps you may need to simply upgrade your Qt (cute) packages.

sorry for the hijack, and I hope this helps.

hijacking....nah...you are helping

BTW check your dependencies ....mine version will differ as I am not on a mdv system

HMM Mention of libqt3...hmmm..libxt6 looks interesting as well?
