I don't really understand what you mean with that.
If I start motion with setup_mode turned on, I only see one camera being
watched (I only get messages from [2] ...., and only the camera on thread
2 is watched, not the one on thread 1 (I tried by creating motion)).
If I comment out the other thread it seems to work for each camera on
itself.
So it can't be the usual case that only one camera is watched when it
works.

My 2 cameras are a Logitech Quickcam 3000 (pwc/pwcx v9) and a DEXXA
Quickcam (mod_quickcam).

Is there anything I could have done wrong in the configuration?
I would think this is impossible as when I disable one thread, the other
thread works perfectly.

Open for any suggestions....
Thanks in advance,
Freddy
