I've got a new release of vic for linux that has brightness/contrast/hue/saturation controls. It's at http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/ucl-vic-2.8ucl4-2. i386.rpm Note that the device name changed (v4l: to v4l-) so those of you using vrm will have to update your video config files. --bob
