Well, I'll send the details as soon as i get a hand of the computer where i use it. From what I remember, I expected to find the device in /video0 and when I sent pix_video the dev /video0 I did't get an error message, but I did't get an image either. When I try /video1 however i get device doesn't exist or similar message. I should get back to you with more precise errors soon.

Re: [PD] [GEM] pix_video, firewire, and linux ?
The coriander approach sounds like a great idea, this camera works no problem under it and you get total control over its functions. It would be out of my league to try to make that work myself, but I can help with testing if that's of any use. adrian.

Re: [PD] [GEM] pix_video, firewire, and linux ?
I have coriander in the debian machine, I configured that computer about 8 months ago, left it in an expo and only got it back this week, so details about how I got it working are gone from my memory. However, in pure:dyne's leekpotato livecd a basic apt-get install coriander will get it working.
