It is far from perfect, but works for many people. Most of IBM cameras are supported, but not all. The driver is included in the Linux kernel for about 2 years already. See http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/ for more. > They have given the drivers for that. That would be driver for Windows, right? > How can i know what codec that is using ? The camera sends data in a mix of YCrCb and RGB encodings, depending on configuration (image size). The driver outputs BGR24. It all should be transparent to the user. IBM cameras are relatively cheap and not of a great quality. They yield quite a low frame rate, and the reverse-engineered driver does not know how to deal with compressed streams (which are an option in some cameras). Dmitri
