[arnieboy]

Some of you probably might have noticed ICM532 chipset based webcams freezing on breezy (for a comprehensive list refer to: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ) when u turn on gnomemeeting or camorama. Herez the fix for that:
FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS! DONT TAKE SHORTCUTS OR MAKE MODIFICATIONS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
You need to do the following step by step

FOR DAPPER and EDGY
If you are on Dapper or Edgy do the following instead of the above:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` build-essential
wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
tar xvfz spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
cd spca5xx-20060501
make
sudo modprobe -r spca5xx
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx*
sudo make install
sudo modprobe spca5xx

FOR BREEZY

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` build-essential gcc-3.4
wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
tar xvfz spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
cd spca5xx-20060501
sudo make CC=gcc-3.4
sudo modprobe -r spca5xx
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx*
sudo make install
sudo modprobe spca5xx

Now you should be all set to use ur ICM532 chipset based webcam.
