I have two new USB cams: a Creative Labs Webcam PROeX,
and a Creative WebCam NX. I plug them into my Redhat
9 box, and it does detect that a USB device has been
plugged in, but I can't find out any way to access the
cameras. Are these totally unsupported? Does these
work with Redhat? Or am I just missing something
obvious?
Time to do some surfing and reading. Here's some places to start:
The PROeX is supported by the pwc/pwcx modules, info at:
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
The "NX" is not listed, but probably also uses the same modules.
For the time being (don't know how long) there's a good guide to webcams
under Linux at:

Ultimately, though, you should also take a look at

to make it easier for people to help you.
No offense meant, it'll just make life easier for all.
