Hi there,

I'd like to buy a webcam well supported in Linux (640x480 dpi and
1.3 Mpixel, perhaps with integrated microphone, should be enough for me).
The problem is that vendors don't say anything about the chipset their
webcams use, so how to figure out if a certain webcam is supported?
Maybe asking here if anyone has had such an experience... :-)

I have a Logitech QuickCam Messenger and although I 'see' an image the
quality is bad. I also don't have any option to choose between resolution.
Never got it working correctly.

I also have a Sony Unibrain firewire camera and that works great. If you
want use it as a webcam you will need to use the vloopback device to make
it work via 4VL

Just my E0.02
