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:
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.

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 .
