camorama

[Stuart Lesnett]

Well Karl, I did a google on video camera's and found wikipedia
(video4linux) and followed the trail.  You will find ekiga and skype in
the write ups. (V4l, V4l1 and v4l2.  I think from there you can follow
the trail.  I loaded the modules, plug the camera in, continued to
change the configuration of ekiga until I had a picture .  Then moved
on.  They have section name V4LWiki.

Good luck. Stu
