Its a Chicony model.. I think identical to this although when I get home I'll put up the exact specifications. I have the doze drivers, only I cant find the Linux ones.

Im running RedHat 8.

Any help would be great

Its a saying that I got from that wanda the Gnome fish:

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.

Well.. Im not trying to re-invent it.. but rather... add to my copy ;-)

129096 2003-03-18 05:03:00 Try "webcam linux" to google. Look at the sourceforge link, which will get you a link to the webcam home page. There seems to be some kernel code, which works with Philips webcams ... but rememeber that code gets written for popular hardware. People buy the stuff, then make it work. If they can't get the essential information from the manufacturers, they don't buy, and don't bother writing code. Graham L (2)
