disable integrated webcam

[bendy]

Hi

I have an old-ish laptop which I use when travelling which has a crap integrated webcam on the usb bus. On the rare occasions that I want to use a webcam I plug in a much better logitech external one.

I would like to disable the integrated webcam and there is no bios option for this. I can't blacklist the driver because my external webcam uses the same driver.

I assume there must be a way (maybe with udev rules) to blacklist a piece of hardware by it's id on the usb bus. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

If you read my post http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...dia-HDMI-Audio then there is probably a way to disable your webcam along similar lines.
