Hi,

Anybody doing videoconferencing exclusively w/ Linux? If so, what program and video camera are you using? My objective is to talk and see family back in Portugal. Are there alternatives?

Thanks in advance,

Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.3 Kernel 2.2.13 KDE 1.1.2

ps. SuSE search engine is not working... Thomas, Lenz... it indicates the number of relevant pages, but it does not show the entries. Hope you can fix it.

How bout Zoom ppc pararell camera? does it work under suse?

The Creative Web Cam II parport is support under Linux and can take video and pictures. Haven't used any video conferencing software with it. Try search on http://freshmeat.net for video conferencing software.

Jack

With some time spent on the usb support with kernel 2.3.something and xtra time on the driver, he has now is permanent Webcam installed on his webserver. I can see him "live" with really good image quality, or with a high refresh rate depending on your connection. We've got both a cable connection and this is really amazing. You can find more informations on linux-usb.org. Follow the links for the supported devices and read about the 0v511 drivers sections. Everything is well explained, as far as I can remember, and you'll have more models supported, how to install them and so on. However, I don't know anything about videoconferencing under Linux. Maybe these sites will explain to you. ciao ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada 418-626-5033 _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu mailto:montesquieu@penguinpowered.com ICQ 15933500 ---> http://www.ccfa.org <--- ---> http://www.ccfc.ca <--- _________________ Le Renard: "Voici mon secret.
