Okay, it is being detected . . . now to see if any drivers are installed . . from the terminal : lsmod | grep gspca

copy/paste back here . . .

here's the output:

nusreth@nusreth-desktop ~ $ lsmod | grep gspca
gspca_zc3xx 55552 0
gspca_main 29952 1 gspca_zc3xx
videodev 41600 1 gspca_main

Well, hardware is detected, drivers are installed . . . so everything SHOULD work!
Now to test!
Open Package Manager, search for Cheese, and install it. When you run Cheese, does it show anything?

hi everyone,
i realy don't want to spoil the fun but i cant the same type of camera to work in Helena

lsusb
Bus 003 Device 015: ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 Webcam

lsmod | grep gspca
gspca_zc3xx 47580 0
gspca_main 22812 1 gspca_zc3xx
videodev 36736 1 gspca_main

the camera has been detected right from the start, but it displays nothing but a grey screen.
even http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=22405 didn't help in any way.
i know for a fact that the webcam works (tested it just yesterday) and an older logitech
device work on this machine without any trouble.
so I'm kind of lost here, any advise (other then buying a new cam)?
