But how do you know if it works? what applications can be used with this and how do you set them to use this? I have a Quickcam Chat which apears to be supported by the linux gscpa driver(sorry I am away from it right now or I would post a dmesg). How would I access the cameras video feed? -- The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred.
