Hi! This is my first post to this list. I posted this in the Development
forum but maybe this is a better place so here it is :

I've implemented a first version of SN9C10x-based webcam support for
Linux. This sort-of works, at least with my setup - a Genius Videocam
Look (SN9C103 with OV7630 sensor), sn9c102 driver 1.39 (from
www.linux-projects.org - didn't test the older version in the kernel),
kernel 2.6.19 (2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6) 

This actually patches libng, which I realize is actually part of xawtv
3.x, but since it's distributed with AMSN and this will be helpful for
lots of AMSN users, I'm posting it here :)

Get it here :

Limitations : not sure. Image looks crappy (more or less black and
white, zoom is wrong sometimes) and the brightness/contrast/color
balance controls don't work, but I don't know if it's a libng issue or
if the driver doesn't support the ioctls. I'll keep investigating, but
of course any help is welcome. 

By the way, I also made a script that merges AMSN logs -
http://www.mysterystudio.com/gabriel/merge-amsn-logs.py.txt I use it
with unison to merge my desktop and notebook logs. It's probably buggy
and it depends on the format of the logs including the date format, but
it works for me. Someone may do something useful with it ;)

Thanks,

        --Gabriel
