HI I found out about this guy a couple of months ago while trying to get my "cheap" AU$35 webcam working with Linux. I stumbled on to a site about a french guy who has written a driver that supports over 230 cheap webcams, My Vi-micro cam and my Quickcam (both USB) work in linux, check out his site at
<a href="http://mxhaard.free.fr/">http://mxhaard.free.fr/</a> for supported cams and downloads for diffrent distro's.<br><br> Also if you want to read an interview with him check out<br> <a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39291">
