Hello all

I'm french, 33 years old and father of a young sweet baby.
I'm daily using this software in order to manage my computer by moving the mouse with my head moves throught a usb webcam, I became disable due to a desease: ALS.
I can't no more use Ubuntu, because there is no tools available to move mouse pointer except http://viacam.org wich doesn't work.
this software is the best open-source for windows.
sources are here
is it posssible for a team to port it ?
but I'm not a dev just a script maker..
Thank you for your time and your atttention

I just tested it (opensuse here) and initially it does not work, but I
got quick response from developers how to make it run. Install it
first of course, and then in your home directory, create file
.eviacam
edit it, and add the line:
openClickWinAtStartup=0

With such settings it works for me (using KDE 3.5.10). However you
have to move your head, not eyes, to control the cursor, I don't know
if you are capable to do this.

I am sorry but for now I cannot help with this.

Cheers,
