The webcam application is the 'webcam' that came with the Linux 7.2 RedHat. I'll have a look in thet /proc/interface to see what value it has been assigned.

But it seems to do no streaming. The camera has an autoexposure setting that needs some time to kick in. So taking a single picture will do you no good if you did not set the exposure to something reasonable before. Check the /proc interface to control the camera. But note that in more recent kernel-versions this was disabled due to a security problem. -Peter On Wed, Apr 24, 2002 at 12:55:52PM +0200, Patrick Deman wrote: > Hi all, > > Is anyone able to explain me the following : > > -I use an Creative Webcam II Par on a RH7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10 linux box. > -Webcam works ok but the images it produces are much-much to bright > (overexposed) > -When i start xawtv the images starts the same way as above BUT it > immediately decreases the brightness to an acceptable level . > It more or less 'auto-adjust' the camera-output. > > Is there something I'm missing or looked over ?? > > THX > > Pat > > > -- Feeling amorous, she looked under the sheets and cried, "Oh, no, it's Microsoft!" ------------------------------- Email: Peter_Pregler@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list Video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
