GIVE UP? 

And do what, go back to the dark side?  Forget about it.  There is no way!  I loved my 
Mandrake even withOUT sound.  What gets me is that the answer was right under my nose 
the entire time.  Even under 8.1, I could of had sound.  I remember the alsa driver 
modules for my als4000 card being present on my system then.  The modules were in the 
/etc/modules.conf file just not in /etc/modules!  Simple!  

Next time on "As my Linux Install Evolves".......Webcams......... 


Now all I got to do is get my webcam/digicam working and I can zap the other part of 
my dual-boot for good.  

Details:  

I have a USB Logitech ClickSmart 510 webcam/digital camera.  

Gphoto has no support for any Logitech devices.  Gphoto2 has support for the 310 model 
but no other Logitech devices.  

Logitech themselves do not give support for their cameras for Linux.  

I have done multiple Google searches with various keyword combinations.  The only help 
I found there were articles telling how to compile a kernel w/ USB support.  I have 
working USB.  

Are there any other app for working with webcams?  Does anyone out there have this 
same model of camera?  Working?  Does anyone have a webcam working that was not 
officially supported?
