There is nothing more annoying then typing and having the mouse go crazy all over the screen. regar ds, N777 On Dec 18, 12:07 am, GWater <[email protected]> wrote: > nsant777 schrieb: > > > > > <B>my webcam:</B> > > maker: envision vcamII (vcam2) > > chipset: microdia / SN9C201 (SONIX) > > > <B>my os:</B> > > Ubuntu 8.10 - the Intrepid Ibex - released in October 2008. > > > <B>question:</B> > > > is the chipset a secret covert embedded chipset.? > > > On Dec 17, 3:41 am, GWater <[email protected]> wrote: > >> 777 schrieb: > > >>> successfully loaded the snxxxx driver > >>> per the instructions > >>> on:http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-d... > >>> my cam is extremely grainy and illuminates green. i'm goin throw this > >>> cam away and buy a linux compaitable cam. > >>> I have a SN9C201 Microdia USB Cam > >>> intel i-186 cpu > >> OK, > >> but you might as well keep it - someday we'll get it working. > > >> GWater > > >> signature.asc > >> < 1KViewDownload > > > > > What is a "secret covert embedded chipset"? > > GWater > > signature.asc > < 1KViewDownload --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Lets make microdia webcams plug'n play, (currently plug'n pray) To post to this group, send email to [email protected] Visit us online https://groups.google.com/group/microdia -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
