Can you use your webcam with any other application? Cheese? Skype? Is it a question of technique with Facebook? Have you seen e.g.

you can't chat on facebook with the webcam but you can post videos with your webcam. you just have to go to the persons page you want to leave a video for and click on the comment box and a link for video will pop up and you record. you have to use ichat or skype to actually live chat with your webcam.

Try installing guvcview. It should pick up your web cam to see if all is OK with it. I use it on my laptop to verify it is working.
