So, I think Ubuntu uses gspca V2 in the 8.10 release. gspca V2 is a rewrite of the gspca V1 module to fit to the v4l2 interface. Therefor not all cams which were working in gspca V1 do work in gspca V2 :-( What shows the kernel log (dmesg) when you plug the cam and use a viewer app. Thomas </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
