I have an old Intel webcam that shows up as: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 8086:0431 Intel Corp. Intel Pro Video PC Camera My hazy memory says that this used to work on linux with the spca_50x driver, though I think I had to add the vendor/device ID manually to the driver. Is there any way to determine which chip is used in the camera so I can try doing so again?
Looking at the inf file from the windows drivers it is indeed quite likely an spca50x based chip, what you can try doing (as root) is: modprobe gspca_spca501 cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/spca501 echo '0x8086 0x0431' > new_id And see if it works, if not you can also try the spca500 and spca508 drivers. Please unplug, rmmod the last tried driver, and then replug the device between different attempts.
