I own a Fujifilm A303 digital camera. It has both DSC and PC CAM modes
for connecting to the computer. I figured out how to use it under DSC
mode by mounting /dev/sda1, but now I want to use it as a PC CAM for
videoconferencing. I have tried connecting it and using it with GNOME
meeting at /dev/video0 and /dev/video1, but the program cannot find it.
I looked in the hardware browser, and it sees a generic pc cam with
unknown drivers. Could anyone offer any help or advice? Does anyone know
of a place I could obtain drivers for it?

Thanks,
Edward S. Rice
