Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Webcam recommendation

["Andrew B. Young" <andrew an3e org>]

I bought the Logitech Fusion and after visiting 
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html found a driver on 
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ that will run it.  I believe the Logitech 
5000 also requires this driver.

Ekiga will run with the Fusion after choosing v4l2, but I have not been 
able to get mp4live to run.  I believe the driver lacks part of the API 
that mp4live requires.

Cheers,
Andrew
