OK, I plugged in a web cam device (something called a 'Zoomy' -- a web cam/microscope). It is recognized by the unc driver. Now what? Does there exist a program that can use this device? Or do I have to write one from scratch? I have been searching the web, but all of the links are about getting and installing *drivers*. I don't need a driver, I need a userland program. With Ubuntu 14.04, there is a program named Cheese, but I can't find a version that works with CentOS 5. And no, don't tell me to install Ubuntu 14.04! -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller at deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

Cheese and Ekiga are packaged for more recent releases than CentOS 5.
