Dudes and dudettes,

The driver for STX can be found at:

I'm writing this seeing myself in GnomeMeeting, and i haven't even tried
using this thing on Windows. ;)

Looks pretty good. The only questions i have are:
1. GnomeMeeting has a tooltip where large resolution is indicated at
352x288. I'm not totally sure that this webcam max resolution of 640x480
is being utilized. I guess i'll try another app.
2. Is built-in webcam mike supported for any webcam models? GnomeMeeting
audio settings are disabled, but maybe they would get enabled if i had a
remote video.

P.S. I'll need to try it on Windows tomorrow, and see how quality and
performance compare.

I love it that you can have this thing on the laptop, and it doesn't
even need A/C power. :)
