[X2Go-User] USB webcam does not work

[olafs6 at gmx.de]

Hi Stefan,

thanks for the explanation, then I know now that it is not a
configuration error on my system.

I'll see if I find a replacement for putty I had installed on
the flash drive of the thinclient. Then I would run on my computer (only
there I need the webcam from time to time) x2go over the client
software and would have in the background the option of the webcam.

Thank you for your great work!

Bye,
Olaf
