I am trying to run luvcview to see images from a Logitech Quickcam 9000. I use amd64, but I don't know if that's my problem. Anyway, this is what I get: luvcview 0.2.4 XDM authorization key matches an existing client!Couldn't initialize SDL: Couldn't open X11 display Exit 1 I have no idea what XDM means in this case. I do not run XDM (X display manager). I cannot find a debug option, so I don't know how to proceed.
Marc F. Clemente a écrit : Most probably not a luvcview problem? Are you trying to run is as root? If yes, that's most probably the problem.

Do you have problems with other (SDL) applications when started from the command line?
reassign 522876 libsdl1.2 thanks This is definitely an SDL related error, I am therefore reassigning the bug there.
reassign 522876 libx11-6 forcemerge 292388 522876 stop Hello, As per #292388 and its clone #486606 (which contains a way to work around it), it seems that the bug is not in SDL but deeper in the X11 layers, and was forwarded to [1]. According to #486606, the authorisation method was disabled in 2008 for libx11 libraries, almost 4 years ago, so I don't think that it's possible to reproduce it anymore. In any case, it works perfectly fine for me (luvcview 0.2.6-6), also with unstable as of today, and amd64 arch. Since the bug is already reported to X11 package and upstream, I don't think that any new action is needed. If somebody can reproduce it and provide more insight, please add info to these bug reports. I am merging it with #292388 because I believe that it belongs in there. Cheers and thanks for the report, and the interest in improving Debian. [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10665
