Talking to Logitech on the phone regarding webcam support for linux

[bruce]

dotan...

doesn't matter how many linux people would call to request/complain regarding linux support. what would matter is if you wanted to drop ~$1million on them for the development/support/docs of the drivers. 

or, you might build a small team of people who have device driver skills, and then present to logitech that your team can build the driver(s) for the devices/linux, and that you'd be wiling to give the information/technology to logitech...

they might go for it...

peace...

Just thought that you guys might like to know that I just spent 23
minutes on the phone with Logitech telling them that they need to
supply Linux drivers. They were rather nice, but they said that they
have no intention of ever suppling linux drivers as there is no
demand. They do have Vista drivers, though, even though I am certain
that for every Vista user today there are 1000 Linux users or more.

Logitech's contact info is on this page:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/utilities/contact/IL/EN

And to save you the trip, this is their US phone number:
702-269-3457

Give them a call and express interest. It is the only way that we will
see companies back their products with linux support.
