It works on Windows 7, and actually works in Linux but is unstable. using xawtv -c /dev/video1 (note the nissing -noxv) makes the camera working ever as normal user. Trying to change the video parameters, say brightness or saturation makes the camera stop working with a device or resource busy error most of the time. I suppose there's a race condition that makes the application of the parameters failing. If I have time I'll make some tests during the weekend to find if there'a a workaround. -- Mike
