    I haven't checked this in a while, but as far as I know there isn't a driver for the camera chipset at this point.

    Ok, I got it to work. I used the driver at www.linux-projects.org. Unfortunately, the jackass that runs the site tries to make you pay 7 bucks for the driver.

    I'm very surprised that Ubuntu doesn't have the driver :confused:

    Which web cam do you have?
