    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


Grep for it in dmesg, you should at least be able to get a
manufacturer's name if it's connecting.

Hi,

The web cam was the only thing plugged in to usb at the time of running...
