Linux 2.6.29.6 loads these modules:

gspca_sonixj 18624 0
gspca_main 25344 1 gspca_sonixj
videodev 43168 1 gspca_main
v4l1_compat 15364 1 videodev
v4l2_compat_ioctl32 10912 1 videodev

I compiled & installed libv4l-0.5.97 & w3cam-0.7.2.

w3cam's vidcat grabs an image as long as I have

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

set in my environment; however the image is overexposed & pinkish.

I'm wondering what software others use on Slack 64 for webcam use. On
my ubuntu laptop, cheese is very nice but I've found nothing useful on
kde so far.

I mostly want the webcam for skype, but don't want to bother creating
a multilib 32/64-bit setup unless I'm assured skype/webcam will look
decent.

Any thoughts [pertaining to subject, that is...:-] welcome.

Cheers, Bob
