I think you are using this: http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,6,2235 instead of the gmenu2x.

First you need to load the drivers (if you are not sure, load them all) by running z_load_all.gpe. Then connect your webcam. Then you launch of the programs.

If this doesn't work, you have to check if your webcam is registered. The easiest way to check this is by using telnet/ssh to connect to your gp2x and then run "dmesg". With the output of this command I should be able to see what is causing the problem.

If you don't have telnet working. Make a file (WITH LINUX LINE ENDINGS):
CODE
#!/bin/sh
dmesg > dmesg_output.txt
sync
# return to the menu screen
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

name it dmesg_dump.gpe or something else, place it on your sd card and run it. (after loading all the drivers and then connecting the webcam).
Post the last part of the output here.
