[Cbsupport] Web cameras for Linux

[Hiddensoul (Mark Clohesy)]

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
http://mxhaard.free.fr/ for supported cams and downloads for diffrent
distro's.

 Also if you want to read an interview with him check out

Hope this helps
