    HI all

    We have a SUN Blade 100 (Suse 7.3) and would like to use a webcam with
    it. Is anybody else doing something like that?

    At the moment we're using a Philips Vesta Pro PCVC680 (USB) which works,
    but as the pwcx module is binary-only (intel compatible logically), we
    cannot use it with full resolution. So we're hoping somebody knows of a
    solution to this.

    more information: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
    Type Philips Vesta Pro PCVC680

    Kernel 2.4.14

    The pwc module works, this means the camera is recoignized and answers.
    For greater resolutions the pwcx module is needed, which because of a
    NDA is available as binary only (i386 and ppc).

    -hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 5
    -usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x471/0x308) is not claimed by any
    active driver.
    -Linux video capture interface: v1.00
    -pwc Philips PCA645/646 + PCVC675/680/690 + PCVC730/740/750 webcam
    module version 8.3 loaded.
    -pwc Also supports the Askey VC010, Logitech Quickcam 3000 Pro and the
    Samsung MPC-C10 and MPC-C30.
    -usb.c: registered new driver Philips webcam
    -pwc Philips PCVC680K (Vesta Pro) USB webcam detected.
    -pwc Registered as /dev/video0.
    -pwc Video mode CIF@10 fps is only supported with the decompressor
    module (pwcx).

    TIA
    Urs
