I've made some tests on this camera and I've had some mixed results. ON mu PC (core i3@3.2GHz/intel graphics core i3 and two video capture boards) i've got always bad behaviour, as I've written some time ago. I've tried with debian ustable and a live usb pen of Fedora Core 15, Fedora Core 16 and Ubuntu 10.04.
On an old HP portable (Centrino @ 1.3GHz/intel Graphics) with Fedora 16 I've got also bad behaviour. On a Dell Vostro (Core Duo@2.7MHz with Nvidia card) it worked flawlessly with an Ubuntu 10.04 installation. Finally on a Pentiun IV Celeron@1,7GHz machine with a Debian Unstable installation it also worked flawlessly. BTW, as specified on the camera box it worked without problems on a MacBook Pro with OS X. I'm suspecting some timing issues that make the camera work erratically on some combination of usb chipset. This capera uses not a Philips chip put a PixArt Imaging Inc., i think a PAC7332 chip: the description fits exactly on the SPZ 2000 camera nicely. http://www.pixart.com.tw/product_data.asp?ToPage=1&productclassify_id=3&productclassify2_id=11 I've writtent this to warn other linux users tha this is a bad camera anyway and one mustn't be fooled by the Philips brand on it, has absolutely nothing to do with the company that made the BM7502 monitor and the VG8020 computer.
