Webcams?

(1/1)

Neuro7:
Do webcams work in Linux? I have RedHat 8.0 and a 3com webcam and was wondering how I would go about getting it to work in Linux. 3com only made drivers for win98 and said that they wouldn't support any other OS's.

Thanks,
Neuro7

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Preacher,
That looks like what I think I need. I will try it out.

I have the 3com Home Connect. Mine never worked in any distro, until I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.19. Now it works in GnomeMeeting and I can grab snapshots from it from the command line. Haven't figured out how to get it to work in Kino yet. But I think the video really sucks on this camera (mine anyway) no matter what OS you run it in.
