I've just got one of those Dexxa USB Webcams from Game over the weekend
(19.95, not bad !)
The good(ish) news is that there is partial support for them under linux ...
the USB Vendor and Product IDs suggest that it is simply a rebadged Logitech
QuickCam Express, so a quick google later and I found an alpha video for
Linux driver for it ... about 33k tgz !
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/
Worked first time with xawtv ... better quality than the supplied windows
drivers !
It does crash out occasionally, but for an alpha driver (v0.30a) it isn't
bad ... I might bring it along to the show !!
