Camera feed

Using xawtv, a viewing application for linux, it was possible to initialise and begin viewing the camera feed. however, the pwc module that is standard in the Redhat 9.0 kernel only supports 160x120 frame resolution, from a camera that can deliver 640x480.

Once pwcx (Phillips Web Cam, apparently the same chip-set that Logitech uses for the Quickam Pro 400) drivers are downloaded and installed, full feed should be available from the camera.
