 I am able to mount this VCD, and I can see four directories, but it wont play

 either.
 
 Where can I go from there?
 
 TIA
 
 Bruce  

with mplayer it's simply mplayer -vcd 1 (or maybe mplayer vcd://1 with
the newest version) the vcd doesn't need to be mounted, -Dan

 Is there anybody out there with this webcam working? I have tried to 
 activate the module in the kernel configuration with no success. It 
 seems that every application that tries to access the camera hangs, and 
 even worse, there's no way to kill them (I've tried kill -KILL with no 
 success) so every time I want to test any application I must reboot the 
 computer. I've even tried vigrab with no success.
 
 Any ideas?

Yeah, I had it working a while ago, the module in the kernel sucked
though so I had to get the 3comhc module and use that instead from the
sourceforge site -Dan

  Very happy with it actually, makes for a kicking workstation. Cannot see me

 I second that.  I have a pair of 2400 MP's (also too scared for metalic 
 paint).  I also have fans due to the expense of liquid cooling - my tower 
 hovers about 2 inches off the ground :-)

I have dual 1700 XP's with the metallic paint mod on a tyan mpx
motherboard, works like a charm :) -Dan
