Amazing response both in time and effectiveness. I thank you all greatly.<br><br>three annoying newbie questions however:<br><br>Is this the package I need to get? <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem/</a><br>

eeepc cam is a V4L2 device. i think there is no (yet) officiel Gem release with V4L2 suport. you can check this when creating a pix_video object : it should print V4L and V4L2...<br>
<br>
current development version works fine. so you should use the svn to download Gem latest source code, and compile it yourself.<br>
<br>
you can also ask Iohannes to make release more often ;-)<br>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I normally stick to the forums but I've come here because I fear this is going to be a little too in depth. (I shall post the answer to the forum afterwards however).<br>
<br>
I know the GEM developers have discussed this over here: <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/gem-dev@iem.at/msg00098.html" target="_blank">http://www.mail-archive.com/gem-dev@iem.at/msg00098.html</a><br>
<br>
But I'm not a GEM developer! :)<br>
<br>
My issue is, [pix_video] won't see my camera under any conditions (in GNU/Linux), whilst mplayer tv:// in the terminal or the Cheese Webcam Booth are both very happy to. I simply don't know where to begin. But really really desire this feature (it's one of the main reasons i bought the eeepc 701)<br>
<br>
Running eeebuntu lxde beta 1 (a cut down ubuntu/debian)<br>
<br>
Is this a common problem? Are there some standard procedures to fixing this? like reinstalling certain packages? e.t.c.<br>
<br>
There's no rush here, but I'm sure it's a somewhat popular issue since the eeepc must be a popular medium for Pure Data<br>
<br>
Thanks very much everyone.<br>
