    Hello all,

    I recently bought Clevo M520N notebook and since the beginning I ve been using Ubuntu Edge 6.10 on it. After some weeks of work, I managed to make everything work. Everything but the built-in camera. On Clevo's website there drivers only for Windows. Do you have any clue where I can find some help for the camera? And also, is there any place with linux drivers for Clevo products? Thnx!!

    Becuase Clevo is not a very common brand you will probably have a hard time finding specific Linux drivers for it. The best thing to do is find out the specific model of each of the notebooks parts i.e. suppose you have a ATI X1600 try searching for the ATI Linux driver and not a clevo Linux driver.

    Having said that there are probably some generic Linux vidcam Drivers. Like I said try and find out what the exact mode of the vidcam you have is(specifically the chip). Hear are a couple of sights to start with though:

    You might want to ask the customer service guys at PortableOne.com about this - they rebadge and sell that Clevo as the "PortableOne UX", I believe.

    Also check on the PortableOne user forum here on NotebookReview.com.
