Hi everyone!.
I have a dual mode 8000 VGA camera (i know it's old bt i do not want to buy a new one), it works perfectly on windows, but i can't make it work in ubuntu.
I plug it in, open skype, cheese or any other program it says "camera not found".
Here's the output of lsusb
$ lsusb

As you can see it seems it does recognize it.
I found on google this (http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/) web site. It has drivers for microdia webcams. But i can't find my model.
Thanks for everything.
