Thanks Chris,

I'll look into that. Seems like those cards were talked about on the lumeria list.

So if there is no V4l device driver, then how is it "supported"? I mean if you have to write a driver, would not almost any card work under linux, if you could get the spec info.

afaik, there is a proprietary API (closed sources but "free as in beer") to access those cards under linux. the current svn has a plugin system for the video backend, so it should be fairly easy to include support for these products with Gem.

once you have done that, please send the code :-)
