I agree. But /dev/video apparently points to video0 on your system which is
not where your camera is. So either the message above is incorrect, gqcam
has a bug or there is something else. As a short test try out to link
/dev/video to /dev/video1 or wherever the cpia-camera is. That should
remove problems related to applications opening the wrong device.

In any case the output of syslog is important. You should see there some
messages from the driver if it was compiled with _CPIA_DEBUG_.
