Re: [TCLUG:16285] Web cam for Linux

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

have you checked in 2.3?  it's there for USB cams, but I'm not sure which
ones.. RTFM.. :(  I have one of the BT-848 cams (USR) and it works
great.. also allows for other kinds of cam hookups.. like a real
camcorder, for better quality.

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
