All I have managed to find in terms of info about getting this webcam to work in Linux is for older versions of Linux, like 8.10 Ubuntu, and I just need to know how I can get my webcam to work, are their updated drivers out there? Something about some gspca thing, but I just wasn't sure if that was applicable now because of everything being all updated. Also, I want my cam to work in Skype, and it doesn't. the quality of the cam is still **** in Kopete too. Any help would be cool. thanks.
