Take a look, for instance, at http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2006-May/000518.html Your best bet is to try the gspca driver, as mentioned in the CrystalEye thread. The author of that driver is pretty good at getting it to work with a lot of cameras, but this one sounds so closed that I wouldn't hold my breath. Sorry. The good news is that some *very* cheap webcams (I heard of a £5 one, even) work with that driver, so it's not worth struggling too much.
