I have the MSI StarCam 370i Webcam and I have trying to use it with Kubuntu Linux 9.04 Jaunty. According to this page, "The StarCam 370i is compliant with UVC, USB video class": http://gadgets.softpedia.com/gadgets/Computer-Peripherals/The-MSI-StarCam-370i-3105.html According to the Linux UVC driver and tools download page, "Linux 2.6.26 and newer includes the Linux UVC driver natively" which is nice as I am on a higher version: $ uname -r 2.6.28-15-generic However, plugging in the webcam and testing with camorama, cheese, and luvcview led me to no results: jaunty2@laptop:~$ luvcview -f yuv luvcview 0.2.4 SDL information: Video driver: x11 A window manager is available Device information: Device path: /dev/video0 Stream settings: ERROR: Requested frame format YUYV is not available and no fallback format was found.
