Logitech QuickCam USB Support For Linux? 6
LapTop006 asks:"I am creating a Webcam that can be remotely panned and tilted. The camera is a Logitech Quick Cam USB and I want to be able to run the system on Linux as it would be easiest to control the camera using CGI through Apache. If I am unable to get working USB drivers for the camera, then I will have to run the system on PWS for Win 98. So I need to know whether drivers are available for the camera, or else whether I have to go crawling back to Microsoft." You might want to check out gPhoto, which has support for over 100 digital cameras (although the Logitech hasn't made it into the list yet). Does anyone have anymore information on the Quickcam?

I don't know anything about a generic driver, but you may be able to copy some code off of them.

I know that they have support for some USB scanners as well, but I'm not sure how different the protocols are for the cameras.
Doesn't look like it (for USB anyway) (Score:2)
