None of them worked any good. The semi-stable branch needed editing in the code for a resulution problem. Both could present some sort of picture, but it was hard to see that it actually was me on the camera. Very bad quality. I label this as a non-working camera. Its unusabel as is. The drivers even had to be downloaded from CVS. The homepage for the driver (http://zc0302.sourceforge.net/zc0302.php?page=cams) mentions it as supported, but that only meens that for some people its sort of working, and for some, its not. If your looking here for a camera to buy, dont by this one.
