I'm basically a noob. I've been testing out various flavors of linux for a number of years but have little applicable command line experience.
My PC is a MSI Wind U100 MS-N011 netbook.
I installed Mint 8 Helena Main.
Overall very pleased. Nearly ready to dump Win 7 and commit to Mint as the only operating system on this netbook.
But so far I can't seem to get the built in web cam working. Works fine in Win 7, but nothing in Mint 8.
I've installed cheese and skype but neither of them can find the camera. For a brief moment skype actually listed a usb 2.0 camera as available. But, no image ever emerged and cheese couldn't see it. After a reboot, nothing.
According to lsusb my built-in video cam is:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera
Downloaded the MSI Wind linux driver for Suse from the MSI website.
Used alien to convert the .rpm package to a .deb package.
Then installed the .deb package.
No luck...
I also installed a .deb package from a Jaunty repository - microdia-dkms. (okay, that could be a totally clueless move)
No luck...
The only info I see in dmesg output that seems relevant to this beginner is this from my most recent boot:
[ 8.869310] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 9.364686] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 Camera (0c45:62c0)

[ 9.382264] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
[ 9.576593] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
Any suggestions on where I can go from here would be much appreciated...

might not be what your looking for and I haven't tried cheese but this worked for Skype using Mint 8 on a HP Pavilion laptop with built in mic and web-cam
Remove your copy of Skype
Go to this website
http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/s/skype/
download and install
Skype-common_2.0.0.68+repack-0medibuntu3_all.deb
Skype-static_2.0.0.68+repack-0medibuntu3_i386.deb or 64 bit version if needed
Right click on volume control (speaker icon bottom right of screen)
Choose show mixer window, settings, configure channels tick capture on main mixer window click capture so tick shows
Open Skype from applications and internet
Check with test call and video test.

Re: Microdia Sonix 0c45:62c0 webcam driver for Mint 8?
I have that Cam and got it to work by installing qc-usb-source in package installer.
Video works,
Sound works but no mic in SKYPE, as I followed the previous mentioned link. Any tips for mic would be appreciated.
I do not see the show mixer only sound preferences... do i need to install dif drivers?
