I've not heard of camelot before so I downloaded it and tried it out. I found that with my logitech pro 5000 it did not work, I assume because it is using v4l and the pro 5000 uses v4l2. I tried it with my pro 4000 (which uses v4l) and it worked fine. Hope that helps Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Post the results. Also take a look at http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html It seems that you will need the spca5xx driver (not included on std openSUSE distro, I compiled it myself, works ok but contrast issues with my logitech) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
