    Well it is time for some fun.

    Your webcam is meant to be able to use the hvc032x kernel module built from the gspca driver.

    The driver is currently maintained at LinuxTV.org.

    Here is the build method. But I have no idea if it will work as is. You will need to test that for your self I'm afraid. So don't blame me if it Borks up your system.



    Code:
    sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) &&
    wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2 &&
    tar xf tip.tar.bz2 &&
    cd gspca-* &&
    make &&
    sudo make install &&
    sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)
    you might need to reboot the system to see the changes.

    Hope this helps
