No, that's a mouse. Use lsusb as michael suggests. Then Google for that device ID and Ubuntu.

[ubuntu-uk] Very cheap webcam
Hi all, I have just purchased a very cheap webcam (£1.00), and I cannot get *buntu to recognise it?! The only details I have are: PNP (plug and Play) CMOS colour sensors ? 24 bit true colour video mode USB interface System Requirements Pentium 200, or higher CPU win 98SE - XP My Machine (s) Ideally It would be used with the laptop so I will give that ones specs! running Oneric (11.10) Kernel 3.0.0-20-generic Gnome 3.2.1 Dual core Intel Core duo T5250 3gb ram Trying to use cheese but have got Kamoso installed and open to suggestions! I have a driver on disk for Windows but cannot get any joy with wine or Mono-runtime Any Ideas gratefully received Regards Pete -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Very cheap webcam
Hi Pete, To find the hardware type: Connect the webcam Open up a terminal Type in: lsusb and press return. This will display all usb devices connected to the system You should get a list containing lines similar to this: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Locate the camera entry and copy the ID number (from above this would be: 1d6b:0002 ) Paste into google or your preferred search and have a click around. This should get you the camera type and point you in the correct direction. Also have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam for some more pointers.
