[MicroHelper]

@danielcrvg OH, all right. I will make a video as soon as possible. I said in the video, if it's dark, I will make a video by your request (:

how do you make it not so dark

[jamvaru]

i have tried many versions of linux with different versions of cheese... cheese 3.xxx is good, cheese 2.xxx not so good, but higher versions of 2 might be better, i don't really think so... if you aren't using cheese 3.x then upgrade your linux ;>'
