Hi , I want to buy a Webcam and I'd like it was fully compatible with Linux. Almost everybody I've asked , recommend me Logitech model's , but they are Windows users and I've read in this list that Logitech is not very Linux friendly . Could any one recommend me any model or manufacturer? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Philips webcams are fully supported on Linux, particurly their Toucam pro model. I think the driver is included in kernel 2.4.10.4 GB (basic on SuSE 7.3). HTH. Le Dimanche 07 Avril 2002 05:31, vous avez écrit :

i recently purchased the Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000. it uses the Philips model and is thus compatible with Linux. from what i've read, most other Logitechs aren't supported as well. here's the url where you can find the drivers and a list of supported cams. http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
I don't have a webcam, but this thread reminded me... I have several X-10 cameras, and a TV card, all of which have some support in Windoze. Would it take much to turn this hardware into a web-cam on a SuSE 7.3 machine? I'm assuming something would need to capture the video and digitize it, and something else would need to serve it. (I have a relatively fast PC and a not-too-old video card, and both the video card and the TV card are ATI.) Has anybody tried this, or have some suggestions? I know web-cams are cheap, but I've got this X-10 crap lying around gathering dust, and if I can get some use out of it.... www.x10.com remains adamant in their continuing NON-support of Linux. I think they're actually proud of it, the shortsighted, dirty, rotten, no-good... whoops! :-) Thanks, /kevin On Sun, 2002-04-07 at 16:15, Yves Baudrier wrote:
