If you've got problems installing it, let us know.

I've got this camera working with Coriander, as a raw device.
I can only get the lower resolutions working though.
The 640x480 modes have a 'split screen' effect. I wonder if the camera
really has a rue 640x480 resolution, or more likely I am doing something
stupid.

BTW, I know I should Google, but a pointer towards using 1394 devices
with Gnomemeeting would be useful.
