Re: webcam problem

This site is pretty much the source of all knowledge on webcam chips and driver compatibility:

You'll need to run

lspci

(or

lsusb

if it is a USB interface) and get the ID of your chip, then see if the gspca drivers will run it.

Re: webcam problem

If your webcam is not listed in the gspca list, check the uvcvideo list at:

Re: webcam problem

According to the uvcvideo site, the ALI 0402:5606 camera is supported by their driver. Nothing about yours, but you might try the uvcvideo driver and see if it works.
