Hi

I've had 100% success on the basis of two!

The more recent one is a Trust one costing around £7. It didn't work 
immediately on plugging in, but a quick google on the USB vendor/product ids 
revealed it needed gspca installing. Yum came to my rescue and the rest is 
history.

I only use my webcam for observing wildlife or time-lapse, but I think someone 
recommended using kopete as software a few weeks back.
