I use a Quickcam IM (well try to).. What I needed was easycam2, I am not sure if this is available on yum repositories, I know that its on a french apt repository for us inclined that way ;) Mind you since the last update I have nothing but problems using the camera, it locks up the whole system. So I havent been too motivated in playing with it anymore... ;) Might hunt around for a Linux friendly cam.... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
