Hello,

I am having the same problem you did with my HP Pavilion dv9000 webcam. I can't make it work.

Your link...

http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/ricoh-webcam-r5u870-Download-30296.html

doesn't work, it's dead. Can you tell me where I could find something similar?

Do you still use the same dv9000 computer? Which kernel are you using? I am using Lucid Lynx 10.04 and it doesn't "see" my webcam. Any suggestions?
