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?
