34 It won't work with Linux for now. I have several web cams that for the
35 longest time were not supported under linux. I now see that the Hama
36 Sightcam 100 has a linux driver. That web cam was retired to "maybe it
37 will work on linux in the future" bin. It now works nicely under linux.
38 Thanks to all the great developers out there.
