Toshiba A200 - Webcam

[Guest]

Hi - I have a Toshiba A200 which I can see has a webcam. However when I search for a program to initiate the webcam I cannot find anything. How do I get the webcam up and running? Do I need to download some software?

Thanks in advance.

Having never actually set up a webcam in Linux, I don't really know, but I think you will have to find a driver or a kernel module for it, maybe even recompile your kernel.

Please take a look at this HowTo and (especially) the references therein) at the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki. That site should be your first resort for all things *buntu. Then come here
