There are a couple of pages of interest that I've found:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/
I bought a webcam that was listed as supported at
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ ... a Logitech Quickcam Pro
5000. That was the only one on the shelf
that had been mentioned as being supported.
When I tried it with ekiga, I got an error:
Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the
color formats supported by Ekiga. Please check
your kernel driver documentation in order to
determine which pallette is supported.
I did some web searching and found that if I
installed the module with trace=15 and stood
on one leg, ekiga would be happy and show
a nice picture (well, as nice a picture as it
could show with me in it) for a little while.
Then it gives the same error message again
and video disappears. :(
