… its not easy to be yourself”. !WARINING! This is yet another webcam story 
!WARNING!
Yesterday at $Company, we got new stuff. Among other things, there was a really tiny logitech webcam, nearly sweet, with a broken pin at the stand. I was curious if i could get it to work with Linux, so I took my lunchbreak (at 18:00 *g*) to try.
The box said “Logitech Mini Webcam Plus OEM”, the kernel said: “ID 046d:092a Logitech, Inc. QuickCam for Notebooks” (this is NOT the “Pro” model… keep that in Mind). When I plugged it in, no Kernel module loaded, so I thought, that it might be unsupported by the default kernel. Not knowing where to start my search, I googled (what else would I do in a situation like this?!) for the USB ID (found some USB ID lists), for the Model name, mentioned by lsusb (Found guides and drivers for the QuickCam for Notebooks Pro) and finally for the model name on the Box. After trying the qc-usb and the pwc drivers (and patching them to recognize my webcam) without success, I tried the last result I got, the spca5xx driver (which can be found HERE). It supports a wide range of LowCost Webcams as well as some upperclass Logitech Cams. It compiled and loaded correctly. After tweaking some settings in the “webcam” tool to the correct values (uncomment “input”, set the resolution to 352×264), I had a nice webcam for your pleasure 
. Look at me whenever you like.
At work I had the pleasure to create a beatiful decoration for about hundred mice we want to sell. Heres another picture:
“There are objects of the class ‘Mouse’ in the stack!”
The sign in the background sais: “The mice are coming! Catch your new USB mouse here!”
Have a nice Week, your Starseeker
