ARToolKit, Linux, and iSight camera

Has anyone had success getting the iSight camera to work with ARToolKit 
running on a Linux system?  I have successfully got the iSight to work 
on a Linux box using the Coriander project's software.  However, 
ARToolKit by default isn't setup to work with the iSight by default on 
a Linux system.  I have been successful at getting ARToolKit to work 
with my iSight on an OS X system.  However, for the purposes of my 
project, I need to use a Linux system.

Any thoughts or comments about successes and failures are greatly 
appreciated.

Pete

You'll need libdc1394 (and the correspoding devel package if applicable=20= to your distro). Also, if you use a fairly recent distro you'll have to=20= adapt a few lines in the ARToolkit video code to adapt it to the newer=20= libdc1394 API (Check the archives for a solution, get back to me if you=20= have problems, I may be able to help.) Once you have taken care of that the iSight should work like a charm=20 (does here, at least). Regards, Eike --=20 Dipl.-Inform. Eike M.
