USB web cam

[Wakko Warner]

I really hate to ask on the list, but if I was to buy a usb web cam, what
would be a good choice?

I would have tried linux-usb, but I didn't know where it was, sorry.

one based on the ov511 chipset, like the Creative Web Cam 3, look here:

ooops, it seems to be unreachable here, so look at
Documentation/usb/ov511.txt

The ov511-based cameras seem to work really nicely.

(this is a cheap chip, used in lots of different cameras)

And while we're on the topic of webcams:

Try a fresh new kernel, at least 2.2.18 or any 19-preX. They include usb
right 'out of the box'.
