start looking from the parent website of gqcam; that will lead you
through many V4L sites where you may find what you need.

Now if I could just make some sense out of the "data_reverse"
message emitted by parport, I could have my webcam up and running ;)

Well, so far I can report that the kernel support for this is now working, 
which was a nice suprise.  I have a Logitec USB camera, and it seems to
work ok.  Have been able to get it to work with XawTV, but no go with gqcam 
yet.  still playing with it.  Hey for 20 pounds can't go TOO far wrong.

When I pull up Konqi and type in linux webcams it comes back with
198,000 replies...I couldn't get mine to work with 2.2.x but the 2.4.3-xmdk 
kernels seem to have much usb support...I'm waiting for 8.0 final to go 
through the process...

Anyone have any information about how well Linux supports webcams?


i thimk Video for Linux has some support for Webcams but check the
readme/docs
in the kernel source tree to make sure.
I kmow that the Logitech webcam in B&W and color has an "opensourced"
driver
but not sure about the rest of them
