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.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck. Stu<BR>
