Looking for Linux compatible Webcam.

[leech]

Subject Title says it all. I need a webcam that actually works identically to the Windows drivers. Or at least quality wise. I have an old Parallel port Quickcam VC, and while they have made vast improvements over the years reverse engineering it, it's still not right.....

For instance, when wearing a red shirt, it looks in the camera like I'm wearing a blue shirt. One that gets good frame rates (30 I think is pretty standard) And works great with Gnomemeeting.

Anyone got any good suggestions?

Any ov511 camera should work great. http://alpha.dyndns.org for information and a compatibility list.

I have a Logitech QuickCam 3000 (USB) and it works just fine in Linux.

Check out this page for more info.

I had an ov511 (lent it to Byock!) But it didn't seem to work as well as the Quickcam VC did in windows (the auto-adjusting brightness for the Quickcam just rocks). Though on the bright side the performance of that camera was identical in windows as it was in linux. It just didn't run that well at all. It was a Aiptek HyperVcam.

How about the IBot (firewire)???

From what I've been reading it can't be beat under both Windows and Linux...
