Hi to all and happy new year.
I have a linux box with Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD64), kernel 2.6.32-37.
I recently installed latest version of ffmpeg from git, because I'm
trying to compile ffdiaporama suite. Apart from this I'm trying to use
ffserver and ffmpeg to stream my webcam. 
ffserver starts with no problems, but ffmpeg isn't able to access my web
cam

After the error appears on terminal, I find this line in dmesg:

[23958.647431] zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000


Note that my web cam is normally working with a plenty of software like:
skype, motion, amsn, cheese, uvcwiev, etc.

Can somebody help me?
Thx a lot.

Luca
