Hello, people. I did it! I looked at the log and modified the driver to support my webcam. It's working!! I'm sending an image attached. :] I'll clean up my code now, and submit a patch later. Help is appreciated, because I don't have much experience contributing to large projects... This webcam is a very cheap one, quite easy to find these days. I hope the support will be appreciated by many users.
