There is a web site with all the drivers supported for cheap webcams. http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html the bad news is that this camera doesn't appear in the list.

Here is the link from where you can get some info how to get in contact with him. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1047633/one-writes-linux-drivers-235-usb-webcams On 8/19/09, David Suna <da...@davidsconsultants.com> wrote: > My son got an inexpensive digital camera and I am trying to plug it in > to an Ubuntu system to be able to copy off the pictures.
