Santaji, I don't necessarily have an answer for you, but I can tell you from experience that webcams haven't been all that well supported in Linux. After saying that - I don't have one myself. One solution you could try if your computer has enough horsepower to support it is to install VirtualBox and install Windows XP on a virtual machine. That's how one of my friends runs his.
