Hi there!
I am totally new to video capture using Linux. I could find that v4l is
the kernel package and API that provides the feature, but no easy
HOW-TO on the subject. That's fine, I've been using Linux for 10 years
and I'll manage to learn how to do this. :)
I got a Pinacle LINX video capture device, an USB device. Anyone has
experience with this and can give me a hint? Or direct me to a "video
capture using Linux for dummies"?
Do you have a model of that device and/or an URL to the manufacturer?
Does it use a compatible chipset?
The first thing is to make sure USB works on your computer.

I just got my Creative WebCam Plus working so I went through all this
recently. :-)
