Have USB support in the kernel, that's not the problem, Guess I was a bit unclear. Sorry. What this thing is, is one of those little video stream cameras, not a digital "snapshot" type. I've seen this type used for "web cam" stuff and security coverage. FXTV works great with one of it's brooktree-based cousins. What I need is something similar to FXTV that can take it's input from the USB devices. Unless I screwed up (which happens :-) ) and missed it, there doesn't appear to be such a critter. Which brings me full circle. > For your digital camera, look through the ports collection under graphics. First thing I did, I *hope* I missed something, because otherwise I've got a chore ahead of me...
