Jim, thanks for the tip. I ordered it from Umart. I paid by direct debit, but they sent it COD anyway. That fixed, I open the box and its a different webcam. This is a Swann Versacam mini. Similar spec, but different chip :-( This is an "STV0672" chip. I've found some references via google to a Linux driver, but found only stale links so far. Any ideas? I suppose I'll have to send it back. -- "The human race is faced with a cruel choice - work or daytime television" -- Dave Barry -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
