Installing the Lenovo USB Webcam (type 40Y8519, Webpage at Lenovo Products)

  • under Linux 2.6.31.1 required the gspca vc032x module to be built from an external developer tree,
  • under Linux 2.6.32-rc5 is working out of the box.

For quick camera testing I have found svv to be very useful.

If problems arise it is also worth having a look at the GSPCA driver maintainer's website.

On a 64-bit machine Skype shall be started something similar like

# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

if you would like to use the webcam for video.
