Hello!


I have a new MacBook (I think it is 3.generation). Now I installed the new version of ubuntu (8.04) on my vmware fusion as an virtual machine. I tried to install the camera on this machine but I wasn't succesfull.

I couldn't find any help anywhere. Hope you can help me.


Many thanks,
Alex
