I have a Logitech Quickcam Chat (046d:092c). I was pleased to find that is was supported (by gspcav1) by Ubuntu 8.04 out of the box. (Not so for Fedora 9 -- they avoid out of tree drivers, as we know.) To test the camera, I did an "acquire" under the GIMP. This invoked xsane which in turn used the v4l library or API. The only resolution that xsane offered me was 160x120, either 8-bit grey-scale or 24-bit colour. When I look at the specs for this camera, I see According to the specifications here: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/38/281&cl=us,en I think that the resolution ought to be 352x288 or perhaps 320x240. The 640x480 resolution appears to involve interpolation. Why am I only offered 160x120? Is that a camera issue, a gspcav1 issue, a v4l issue, an xsane issue, a GIMP issue, or an ignorant user issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
