Hey guys, how's it?

Well I just recently got in touch with my mom who moved far far away and I don't get to see her anymore. And I wanted to video chat with my mother via Skype, and I got the idea of hooking up my PS3 Eye to my laptop and installing drivers for it. This worked on Windows XP for me, but seeing as how I'm in love with Linux I googled tutorials and ran across a tutorial for Ubuntu 8.10. I followed it and installed everything on my Ubuntu 9.04.

Well...nothing works, everything was installed correctly, but my PS3 Eye just doesn't get picked up. Anyone have any ideas of how to install it through 9.04?

Thanks for all the future help!

Don't know if these are the steps you followed but this guy seems to have gotten it to work this way: http://www.killerninjamonkey.com/node/13

I might actually go out and buy one of these myself, if not for linux than for PS3. http://createdigitalmotion.com/2009/08/06/trick-out-your-ps3-eye-webcam-best-cam-for-vision-augmented-reality/
