videoconferencing

[Dan Berdine <db002i@mail.rochester.edu>]

Hi,
I'v been searching through the debian-user archives for information on how to 
set up my camera to do videoconferencing (or anything to start with really) 
and have gleaned some useful information, but I was wondering if anyone could 
tell me where I should look for general documentation on the relavent 
software such as V4L, xawtv, camera, and drivers for specific cameras.  I 
have an IBM PC Camera, and I'v found some documentation for it but really 
only enough to know that people have gotten it to work successfuly in the 
past and drivers exist.  Any information on where to look for more 
documentation on anythign relavent would be appreciated, I have no problems 
with learning more than the bare minimum to get this working, so please, more 
input! :)

Thanks,

-Dan

P.S.  Please CC replies directly to me, I can't handle the volume of the list 
and rely on archives.  Thanks :)
