Hi,
Welcome to the world of freedom. There is a very good lightweight program called cheese that can handle virtually every webcam. I have been using it for my dv2000 running Hardy Heron. You can get cheese by keying the command below

sudo apt-get install cheese

enjoy you webcam

Hi tata, I typed the command but got
"E: Couldn't find package cheese"
Is there something I'm not doing?

Many thanks,

Sotonye.
