"IPVEO Point 2 View (aka P2V) works perfectly in linux using the uvc
drivers; the capture and focus buttons work without fault and I haven't
noticed any performance problems. On Debian/Ubuntu you can install it
and a useful webcam controlling program by doing the following:

sudo apt-get install guvcview"

So failing any other result, I guess you might acquire the source for
guvcview from somewhere and analyse it.
