We found a reference to "Cheese" as an is-it-working kind of ap. We used "motion" for the time-lapse. I've used it with Skype as well. Works good! My first web cam was an Intel thing, I got it for $5 at a garage sale, and it never worked right. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
