USB Camera

USB Camera

[Michael Menegakis]

There is a USB WebCam called l'elegant by DigitalDreams. It is quite 
succesfull here in UK but it doesn't seem to be directly supported by the 
Linux Kernel. Can you redirect me to right module that may be compatible with 
it? Or let me know the address of the webcams maintainer, if there is any. 

Apologies for the off topic message.

Please look at the device list linked off of http://www.linux-usb.org/
to see if this device is supported.  That site also has the addresses
for the mailing lists that contain people who could help you out with
this question.

Hope this helps,

It is DigitalDream, not DigitalDreams. my mistake. The model is l'elegante
