I just got a Logitech Fusion working under gentoo with the linux-uvc |
| 14 |
ebuild (had to add a patch[1]), and luvcview. It gave me a /dev/video0 |
| 15 |
device, but tvtime couldn't view it properly (stuttered a lot). I |
| 16 |
didn't get the audio working, but I only spent a few minutes on it. The |
| 17 |
"face tracking" and pan and tilt the box claims are all done in software |
| 18 |
(that works on windows) so you won't have those features. The quality |
| 19 |
was a little flickery under the flouro's at work, but better outside. |
| 20 |
It also automatically adjusted the aperture (brightness). |

These websites[2],[3] lists some other logitech models and their |
| 23 |
compatibility. See if you can get a hold of one and run `lsusb` to find |
| 24 |
out it's ID, then you will have a better idea if it works or not. |

Martin was probably ripping them off. That's some family, isn't it? |

Incest, prostitution, fanaticism, software. |
