Yeah, I was noting Sounds like you are talking about the issue with the PWC driver for Phillips webcams two years ago. It's not that it's a "major sin". It's that it isn't legally possible. Luckily, this was resolved, and a new maintainer stepped forward for a reverse-engineered pwc driver. That's not relevant to this particular camera, though, because as mentioned earlier, it needs the spca5xx driver. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
