    [SOLVED] Help with "webcam" - it gives me an error.

    Here's the error I get:
    Code:
    $ webcam /etc/webcam.conf
    reading config file: /etc/webcam.conf
    invalid norm: pal
    $
    $ sudo su
    # webcam /etc/webcam.conf
    reading config file: /etc/webcam.conf
    invalid norm: pal
    #
    /etc/webcam.conf:
    [www]
    dir = /var/www/htdocs
    file = webcamoutput.jpg
    local = 1

    [grab]
    device = /dev/video1
    width = 352
    height = 288
    delay = 1
    norm = pal
    quality = 100
    The webcam I'm using: "Trust 120 SpaceCam"

    Last night it worked fine, but for some reason it's not working any more. I'm sure it has to do something with the modules "sn9c102" and/or "gspca"

    lsmod:
    Code:
    $ lsmod | grep sn9c102
    sn9c102               127236  0 
    videodev               29440  5 gspca,sn9c102,cx8800,cx88xx
    compat_ioctl32          2304  2 sn9c102,cx8800
    v4l2_common            18304  5 sn9c102,tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,videodev
    usbcore               146028  5 gspca,sn9c102,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
    $
    $ lsmod | grep gspca
    gspca                 643920  1 
    videodev               29440  5 gspca,sn9c102,cx8800,cx88xx
    usbcore               146028  5 gspca,sn9c102,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
    $
    I also tried to reload these modules, but nothing happens:
    Code:
    # rmmod gspca
    # rmmod sn9c102
    # modprobe gspca
    # modprobe sn9c102
    Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

    EDIT: New error!
    Code:
    $ webcam /etc/webcam.conf
    reading config file: /etc/webcam.conf
    v4l2: open /dev/video1: No space left on device
    v4l2: open /dev/video1: No space left on device
    v4l: open /dev/video1: No space left on device
    no grabber device available
    $
    I have no idea what happened!
