640x480 image capture in Xandros.

Although the webcam on the eee is rated at 640x480, I can only seem to capture still images at 320x240, I've searched the forum, read the manual, and looked through the options in ucview, and still no sucess, there must be a simple solution, but I have not found it, hence this rather dumb question, thanks.

Re: 640x480 image capture in Xandros.

I have not found anyway of changing the resolution from 320x240 using the default software on the eee, so ended up having to edit the ini file to give me a resolution of 640x480, this is not very elegant because if i want to reduce it again to say 320x240, another ini editing job is required. anyway, if anyone else needs to do this, the file to edit is /etc/ucview/default.ini (as root)

Re: 640x480 image capture in Xandros.

It shouldn't be too difficult to write a script for this.  The simplest would be to have three files /etc/ucview/default.ini, /etc/ucview/default.ini.320x240 and /etc/ucview/default.ini.640x480 and putting the relevant information in the latter two files.  The script would then copy whichever of the latter two files you wanted over  /etc/ucview/default.ini.

I'm sure there are cleverer ways of feeding the information into the ini file by means of a script, however.
