I've been struggling to get my webcam to work with my Apple Powerbook. I would have thought it had enough performance - Nvidia graphics, fast ethernet, 867 Mhz PowerPC G4 etc etc. For some reason it just can't show the full-size streaming video.
Running the same feed into my Sun Blade 1000 with Solaris 10 and I get a rock-solid 640x480 video feed in my browser.
Both laptop and workstation are plumbed into a switch, which the webcam is also connected to. The Sun machine just hooks up and works. The Apple simply struggles. I've tried using a direct cable (crossover, and non-crossover) into the laptop. I tried fiddling with the ethernet parameters.
Maybe it's because the workstation has 2 cpus, or something to do with
hardware, but it could just be Solaris 10 kicks ass.
