Using the Sony EyeToy under Linux
Folks, While playing around with webcams under Linux I got this working and I've documented this at http://wlug.org.nz/EyeToy I've tested this out with GnomeMeeting and Camorama successfully. I'm sending this to the list as I know many of you may have these at home and it gives you a free webcam (you still need a microphone though). It wasn't well documented on the web either so I thought I might save a few of you the fun I went through :-) Ian
Doesn't the EyeToy have a mic embedded? For some reason I thought it did. Regards Ian McDonald wrote:

OK... I'll document the procedure to use that if/when I get it working. It is not of high priority for me right now so if someone else feels like doing it they can as well! I've been discussing with the kernel maintainers on how to get this into the kernel so "it just works". If anybody is interested in the gory details I can fill them in offlist.

Sure does, there are games on Eyetoy that get you to use sounds to control things.
