I have an inexpensive Logitech usb web camera that I bought at
Walmart perhaps five years ago that until yesterday I have always
had to use with Windows XP. Now, for whatever reason, it works with
F-14 but only at low light levels?
At the moment the room is dark and it produces usable images with
only a desk lamp turned on. I chose to run "cheese" but the
application doesn't seem to make any difference, they all provide
similar controls such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue.
Using normal daytime room light the image turns white with only such
things as my dark gray shirt being discernible. Manipulating
brightness and contrast has some effect but the picture is always
washed out even though brightness may be turned down to make the
screen dark. Too much white!
Since I know the same equipment works with Windows it seems it could
work here too.
