OpenMoko Webcam

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

         Okay I have java to video4linux running (
http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/) and it is working well (I'll write this up
for people in the future.  The next thing I need to do is to look at the
resolution issue.  My camera is working with pwc and there was a problem
with pwc sometime ago so I suspect that this may be the problem.  I tried to
download the latest version of pwc (10.0.11) but it won;t compile on th
emachine I'm on.  I am investigsating that to see if I can get it to compile
on my machine.

Cheers,

Neil
