Hiya, I'm working on setting up a video conferencing and text chat kiosk for a children's museum. My original intention was to use something mostly command-line with few widgets for video on part of the screen, like vlc, and IRC or jabber for the text conferencing. It has to be pretty child-proof, so I want it to boot right into this stuff and to the extent possible not allow people to do other things with it (activate KDE kicker menu, shell prompts, etc.) I was planning on using Knoppix or something like that so we don't even need hard drives.
I had planned on using a QuickCam 3000 for the video since I've had good luck with it in mythtv, and I see that vlc supports v4l devices... is the pwc driver a v4l device? It's not clear to me what makes something a v4l device or not, and I haven't found a list of v4l devices. Backing up a bit, does anyone have any suggestions about a better approach? -- "Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect" -- Steven Wright Security Guru for Hire http://www.lightconsulting.com/~travis/ -><- GPG fingerprint: 9D3F 395A DAC5 5CCC 9066 151D 0A6B 4098 0C55 1484 _______________________________________________ pwc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.saillard.org/mailman/listinfo/pwc
