Linux support?

MartinN · ‎10-28-2006

I just acquired a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 - does Logitech provide Linux drivers (I'm running Ubuntu) for their webcams? Thank you.

Wrong, there is support for Linux. But no with the same fancy layout.

I use PWC with both my Pro4000 and OrbitSphere, sometimes with better results than Windows!

I will clarify...Linux is not supported by Logitech.

Thanks for your link though.
