Okay, I installed Sarge, plugged in my Logitech QuickCam Pro 4k and,
Volia, it is seen.  One problem though: vgrabbj only grabs images in
120x160 regardless of what I tell it to grab.  I quick -s flag shows
the following:

Videodevice name: /dev/video0 (Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000)
Capabilities
Type     : 1    Values can be looked up at videodev.h
Channels : 1
Audio    : 1
MaxWidth : 640
MaxHeight: 480
MinWidth : 160
MinHeigth: 120

Current Settings:
Brightness: 31744
Hue       : 65535
Color     : 32768
Contrast  : 32768
Whiteness : 49152
Depth     : 24
Palette   : YUV420P (15)
Width     : 160
Height    : 120
Chromakey : 0

So, my current settings seem to be wrong, as the device seems capable
of VGA.  I don't mess with cameras much so any pointers here would be
very helpful.    Any ideas?

Back to google.

Greg
