Hi, thks. that's a smart thing to do. from lsusb, i get: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 04f2:a217 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Unfortunately, google search throws up nothing. This is not one of those big name product. It is a Taiwanese company's. wl <div>On 8/4/07, yannick <<a href="mailto:sevmek@free.fr">sevmek@free.fr</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Le samedi 04 août 2007 à 12:33 +0800, wo laoye a écrit : > Sorry, but how exactly do i try those plugins on the hybrid camera? Hi, You can proceed like this: If you hybrid camera plug using USB, 1. plug the camera, 2. type in a terminal "lsusb" 3. search the web with the number given by lsusb for your camera with "linux" it usually gives you the driver page. e.g. : $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:08b4 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Zoom Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=046d%3A08b4+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t"> http://www.google.com/search?q=046d%3A08b4+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t</a> First page in google gives me the right link to: <a href="http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/">http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ </a> which is my driver webcam for linux.
