Hi List.

This is a bump to keep this thread in view - I've not received any help
since my last post so I just wanted to keep this visible in the hopes
someone out there can help.

I've got a Creative Live! Pro webcam I want to get working with Ubuntu.
 Here is some info taken directly off the chip inside the camera as well
as some links and info I've found:
