More generally, is there any way to support TWAIN drivers in SDL? How can this be
ported to Linux?

The SANE project is a scanner interface for Linux:

(Neither are these are SDL-based solutions. You’ll need to read data from
the devices in platform-specific ways, and feed it into an SDL surface.)

Don’t know about TWAIN, but scanners and some webcams are supported in
Linux with the “SANE” (Scanner Access Now Easy) library, and my
Creative webcam uses the Video4Linux api.
Don’t you use video for windows to grab pictures from a camera under
Windows?On Thu, May 16, 2002 at 11:43:14AM +0200, CRV?ADER/KY wrote:
