Can anyone tell me how to install gspca driver to get my webcam working? The hardware lists the camera as supported, using this driver.

So far I have had no luck, lsusb shows the camera is detected.

I have ditched Windows completely on my Dell 5100 and am enjoying the Mint experience!

Thanks guys!

I don't have an Acer, but what about the instructions given [here]?

Assorted USB webcam drivers are available [here].

Suss it step by step. And always be prepared to take a few tumbles. ;-)

Sometimes USB can get a pain in.....
I have a similar problem with a USB scanner, and I believe there is some hidden config file playing tricks

But, check out the drivers!!

Hi there,

See my HOW TO (directed to another website), that explains how I got my HP USB webcam working.

It might be of assistance.
