Webcams... I couldnt get my el-cheapo DSE Webcam to work, nor could I get my Chicony DC-350 to work....

And Im sure now that we are switching the CyberCafe to Ark Linux that we'll encounter more hardware soon.... Im already having a fun time getting the Canon PCL 5e to work (LAN Printer...).

The great thing is that the solution is usually only a google away!


Chill.

I had missed your posting for that modification.
Just to add a bit, in the 'chrome' directory there is an example file called userChrome-example.css which tells you how to modify the fonts. Just need to know that the * is used to disable the sample command in the same way as ; is used in a windows .ini file. (I think?)

Chill I did try your suggestion for trying to get the web cam detected, but had no joy.
I dont feel like buying new hardware at this time just to get a something working in Linux when I can just as easily switch back to Windows (or even MS-DOS :))

However as Graham suggested if one is buying a new piece of hardware or upgrading it would be good to have Linux support too.
