Since I bought this laptop, I've looking for solutions...but it wasn't until the kernel 2.6.26 was release when the cam was recognized...although it didn't work.
But the last piece of new was that the new kernel, 2.6.27, recognizes this webcam and, since I didn't want to recompile a kernel, I looked how to compile and install one module:
First, download all this files. This is the driver for our linux
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk/
Now, it's quite simple. Just execute:
make
¿Is it all ok? Perfect...
We have to remove the old module:
rmmod uvcvideo
And install the new one. (Execute this command in the same path you've compiled the driver)
insmod uvcvideo.ko
Try now
xawtv /dev/video0
Does it work?;)
