The video card I'm using is 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT] (rev 15) It's an older card. I also have an onboard video: Intel 845G PCE Accelerated SVGA The computer is a Dell Optiplex GX260
I would like to find a web cam that I can use for Linux and Windows. I hope I can get this going better or I will have to try another web cam. I tried the web cam using XP Pro, because I need to use this with Skype for a video conference. I couldn't find anyway to adjust the resolution using Skype. I set it to 800 x 600 in Windows. Still problems. I would like to use Skype with Linux, but people tell me there are lots of problems and I don't have time to sort that out. I found lowering the resolution helped some using Cheese under Linux, but still problems. Also couldn't find a way to test the audio using Linux. Cheese would freeze when I tried to record. Are there better programs for web cams under Linux? On Tuesday 25 June 2013 9:34:40 pm Mel Walters wrote: > Since you say minimums are met, your performance should not > seem slower.
