in kernel, add video for linux (v4l) support
add typical usb options
compile kernel and reboot into it
download the pwc driver file (pwc-10.0.6a.tar)
untar and enter dir
"make"
"make install"
You need to do this every time you re-compile the kernel
Emerge xawtv package
this includes the program streamer
"streamer -F mono -f jpeg -r 15 -s 352x288 -t 0:60 /dev/dsp -o test.avi"
mplayer aalib in GENTOO
emerge for aalib
Edit the USE flags in make.conf to be
USE="aalib"
emerge mplayer
mplayer aalib in Fedora
"yum install aalib" didn't seem to work
Instead download aalib from website
untar and cd into aalib dir
./configure --help
Look at the config options
make sure you add --enable-aa
also enable --enable-vesa is helpful for running in the framebuffer
the command should look like this "./configure --enable-aa --enable-vesa"
"make"
"make install"
RUN mplayer with aalib
mplayer -vo aa
Using a FIFO combine the two commands
"mkfifo test.avi"
in one terminal, run
"mplayer -vo aa test.avi"
in another terminal, run
"streamer -F mono -f jpeg -r 15 -s 352x288 -t 0:60 /dev/dsp -o test.avi"
This should produce a nice ascii video of the camera
