Some interesting notes and comments at the bottom of this page: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ Also, in the past, I have found the best comments on various camera hardware in the relevant kernel driver. Sometimes that is a unique driver, other times it is a unified kernel driver for a similar group of video cameras. Sometimes you can go way back to where the kernel driver for a given video camera first appeared (got supported) in the linux kernel for detailed information on the limitations of a given piece of hardware. Often, the poorer performance on Linux, was intentionally due to the actions of the manufacturer, particular on max frame rate, bit minipulations and other key parameter settings of the cameras. Once folks learned the protocols (decoded them) on windows, they would make those adjustments with windows software and reverse engineer the driver software so as to be able to support various linux drivers. Logitech is very reasonable (at least compared to other vendors) but even there newer hardware rarely works with the best of a given feature set, until the product has been out for a while. If not, Logitech should have a published interface specification so and to make reverse engineering not necessary? Dunno know the specifics on the model your listing, as I've been out of that 'game' for a while now, but all those tigers still have the same stripes.... Good hunting! hth, James
