[nylug-talk] acer aspire 5102 laptop & web cam revised

[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 Acer calls it an Orbicam.  The system 
recognizes it as a USB device.

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.
