How to use an external USB Webcam
I have a laptop with a built in Webcam but I want to use one that I connect to a USB port. I can't find anywhere in Porteus to change which webcam to use. Anyone know?

Re: How to use an external USB Webcam
@jeff4892,
The application using the USB webcam should have a setting to choose from. Such as:
/dev/video0 (which should be the built-in camera)
or
/dev/video1 (which should be the USB camera).
