Hiya,
I'm working on setting up a video conferencing and text chat kiosk for
a children's museum. My original intention was to use something
mostly command-line with few widgets for video on part of the screen,
like vlc, and IRC or jabber for the text conferencing. It has to be
pretty child-proof, so I want it to boot right into this stuff and to
the extent possible not allow people to do other things with it
(activate KDE kicker menu, shell prompts, etc.) I was planning on
using Knoppix or something like that so we don't even need hard
drives.
I had planned on using a QuickCam 3000 for the video since I've had
good luck with it in mythtv, and I see that vlc supports v4l
devices... is the pwc driver a v4l device? It's not clear to me what
makes something a v4l device or not, and I haven't found a list of v4l
devices.
Backing up a bit, does anyone have any suggestions about a better approach?
