See: http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt Note that streamer is part of xawtv and xawtv has known bugs which are triggered in certain use cases when used together with gspca, you should really compile xawtv with this patch: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=313380 What we *really* need is a new upstream for xawtv (as its still quite popular) even its just a place to collect all fixes currently scattered over many different distros. So any volunteers to organize this?
