Wow. "Thank you" or "please" wouldn't hurt. But you're right, I didn't 
post much details. Thanks for kicking me into it.

That page is for general troubleshooting and installation. I didn't do 
anything, just plugged it in and worked.

The camera model is iNTEX IT-305WC (reported as Z-Star Microelectronics 
Corp. ZC0303 WebCam by lsusb)

I also commented its entry in the Linux USB database:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3489

And added it to the Skype Webcams page (much as I don't like Skype, I 
tested it):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams

lsusb reports this:
 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam

Cheers,

Fabian
