I have tried to use my video camera with firewire. Firewire has been
detected by lspci and by lsmod. But Module raw1394 is not found.

So I cannot see how to find the camera.

Is there a raw1394 file in /dev once you've plugged the camera in? If yes, type sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394 before running dvgrab. Worked for me.

The bug you quote is for Natty, most likely it's not that.

Try making yourself a member of group video and logging out then back
in again. That should fix any permissions problem you're having.
