I see the latest fedora 8 kernel (and fedora 9) includes the uvcvideo driver by default (previously I had to build it myself). It seems to work fine for me with my logitech cam, and the theory behind standards is that all UVC compliant cams will work (insert insane chuckling here). The gotcha is determining which cams are UVC compliant - most manufacturers don't actually advertise it as a feature. On mine I discovered a support web page for macintosh that mentioned UVC compliance :-). The other gotcha with UVC is that the driver only supports version 2 of video for linux (V4L2), so only software that is V4L2 aware can talk to UVC video drivers (I guess linux decided they absolutely had to copy windows with the multiple incompatible versions of video for windows that Microsoft went through :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
