[nylug-talk] Acer Aspire 5102 Laptop & web cam

[Mark]

As I said at the meeting Wednesday, I think this is a great computer, with 
everything I've tried working.

But I want to get the built-in web cam working and haven't been able to.  

I know the web cam is USB, and it is seuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security universe
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security universe

So, the question is, what software should I use with this?  Digicam doesn't 
see it, and when I try to configure a camera with it, I don't have the proper 
camera listing for it.  Acer calls it an Orbicam.  This isn't on the Digicam 
list.

I figure there must be a generic USB web cam configuration which will work 
with some software.  

Looking for suggestions.
