<div>My sincere thanks to Aaron for taking this on!!</div>

<div>I had much success with the Veho 004, but at now $99 a piece I can't afford to buy more of them for my trip to the Philippines this June. </div>
<div>I have 2 of these Intel Play from 5 years ago that still work perfectly well with Windows but hoping they get more use by kids in the Philippines. </div>
<div>They are also much cheaper (some going for $15 each on eBay).</div>

<div>Somebody forwarded this UI that might work if I had the modules set-up (which I really don't have a clue how to do): </div>

<div>Might not work with Sugar but it looks like it can work with GNOME?</div>

I'm helping Cherry, getting this driver compiled. She's using a 2.6.31<br>kernel (the 10.1.3 build I think) which doesn't have the gspca_cpia1<br>driver.<br><br>I looked into back-porting the driver to 2.6.31, there's only a handful<br>

v4l capable devices and the QX3 isn't showing up as v4l capable, so I'll<br>look into this a bit more.<br><br>Any other ideas are welcome :)<br><font color="#888888"><br>-Aaron<br><br><br><br></font></blockquote></div>
