Hello
You can check here http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html if your cam is supported
by the gspca driver and here http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ for UVC cams.
run "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" in a terminal and plug in your cam. If it gets
detected you should see some messages about your cam.
Which viewer application do you use to test the cam?
