I get root at karl-desktop:~# lsmod |grep gspca
gspca                 608336  0
videodev               29312  1 gspca

I get this

root at karl-desktop:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 

Bus 001 Logitech is my camera. So why does it not work I wonder? Better 
take it to windows again and see if it still works there.
