Hmmm ... the web cam doesn't get listed there. Do you have more detailed specs about your Laptop? e.g. maybe a page from Dell somewhere somehow?

That link unfortunately doesn't tell us anything about the precise camera type or model .... OK, we know it's a Logitech ... but which type precisely? I had hoped for a more precise model name or something like that.

In the kernel :D

That would be a good idea! Any model name, type, number, whatever would help.
