	Well, I'm not sure what happened to the parallel port on this box
	after installing the new card, but all seems to be back to normal
	now.  I grabbed the 1.01 xfqcam stuff, edited out the non-
	essential usleep()'s, and everything is wonderful.  No more 
	vertical stretching!
	
	I've been following the thread concerning the auto-brightness and
	was playing with it a bit tonight.  Not only does it seem to make
	it a bit easier to adjust the qcam, but it results in a 60%
	speedup here.  80x60@6bits gives me a rate of about 32fps.  With
	the brightness set at 255, the framerate jumps to 51!  WOW!!!
	
	This is on a AMD DX4/120, 16M Ram, Bi-directional EPP port and
	8bit depth on X w/ #9 Motion 771 card.
	
	
	
	All I can say is "WOW!"  It seems that Connectix only expects
	around 15fps on a Pentium 90 (judging from the booklet in the 
	box).  Just one more reason why Linux is the Choice of the Gods!
