Wow! What a workaround!
If You or anyone else would still be interested in this problem, You can try Envy.It worked for me.
You can download it from here: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
Just install it by:

sudo dpkg -i envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu10_all.deb

and download the missing dependent packages by sudo apt-get install ...
run Envy:

sudo envy -t

answer some obvious questions and reboot.
After that You can remove it from the system:

sudo apt-get --purge remove envy
sudo apt-get autoremove

And You're all done.

Hi guys,
I recently installed Zoneminder on and followed different process to install it,
I have a problem, I have got cameras, both USB, one IP camera and a webcam, none of them is recognise.
After configuration, monitor is orange but source is red.
My camera are located at /dev/video0 and /dev/video1, manage to get them working with vlc and cheese, but not with zone minder.
Any Idea??
