Trying to run Geovision GV600 capture card...

I am a linux newbie. I have debian installed.
I am thinking of using ZoneMinder to work with the capture card. Anyway, I feel like I am not installing the card right.
Here is what I did:

Created a file at "/etc/modprobe.d/capture.conf" with the line "options bttv card=150", so bttv recognizes the card and indeed it started showing Geovision Gv600 when I use the "dmesg | grep bttv" command.

I have installed ZoneMinder too and added a monitor I see no picture...

How can I make sure I have installed it right? I have only ssh access. Please help!
 


I have tried that for a few days and my forums postings are the last resort. I have tried many times to do it myself using tutorials and reading in the internet. As to the links you posted - I have seen them, they didn't help me. If something has worked I wouldn't be writing here.
 
I have installed GNOME and XawTV. Now I know for sure my card and cameras are working. They work in PAL mode and use "grabdisplay" capture. I don't know why overlay doesn't work.
The issue now is that I don't seem to be able to replicate those settings to ZoneMinder. In the "New Monitor" settings I don't see where to set the "capture" option to "grabdisplay" and I believe this is why I see no picture in Zoneminder. Can you help?
