But this is now our wheezy based install on a Dell Dimesion 745, and a cheap web cam plugged in that near hidef performance, has a lag of a few hundred milliseconds in cheese. Motion is smoother by far, I'd estimate 15 fps or more. Its a much sharper camera, laying on the desk 4" from my hand running the mouse, every hair on the back of my fingers is clearly shown. Mechanical focus by a ring around the lens, it can easily get to 1/2" from the lens rings face. Stripped to its cheap plastic case I can single hole mount it in a 1/8" sheet of alu, and the whole thing which is about an inch in diameter and 2.25" long, can be hid inside the Z casting beside the spindle as the casting is quite hollow.

I found that blog.float.fr, but everything there seems to apply to 10-04 LTS installs only. And I still haven't heard back from [email protected]. Once I have one eye open simultaneously, I'll see if I can find the srcs as thats the only place we can fix them. Nick had packages but none for wheezy that I could find. I take it you've not made it work with our wheezy install either? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
