<pre wrap=""> I was looking for something similar to this:
idVendor 0x0402 ALi Corp.
idProduct 0x5602
bcdDevice 1.00
iManufacturer 0
iProduct 1 USB2.0 Camera
Which is part of the camera definition for the web-cam on my laptop.
If the web-cam works on the install that you posted the listing from,
would you please provide the output from lsmod. This will tell us what
module Xandros is using to drive the hardware.

I have managed to get the webcam working on ubuntu,,,<br>
<br>
It was just one flag in one file.. i have fixed it like this:<br>
<br>
#
sudo echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera<br>
<br>
And the camera started working....<br>
Hope it helps you...<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
