Images are Grey with "Unable to open Video Device" printed top left - Genius Eye 312
Question
I'm trying to get a Genius Eye 312 webcam running - so far without success. I've got the webcam loading up - I think - and appearing as /dev/video0. When I run "motion" however, it generates a load of images (45 frames or so), the first two are random green snow/noise, and then the rest are a standard mid-grey (#ccc?) with text in the top left that reads:UNABLE TO OPEN VIDEO DEVICE SINCE 2009-07-23 20:16:40(obviously with the time changing each time).
details of what I'm running with are as follows:
