    webcam

    hello,

    yesterday i bought a Genius VideoCam Eye - webcam. actually i didn't make up my mind about linux-support as i thought this should be no problem. ...... i am such a fool

    when i plug it in (usb), a new usb-device (/var/log/messages) is recognized - that's all. it doesn't seem to know that it is a webcam or at least a video device and therefor i have no /dev/video*.

    ofcourse, there are no drivers for linux included... (we are still an elite...)

    does anyone know where i can get help from? (i already googled, but the webcam seems to be too new...... i am such a fool)
