How to get a web cam working:- it depends on the camera, I have a phillips toucan, which uses the ov511/518 chip, for this you have to use the ov511 driver & camchip addon. and use 'insmod' to load them into the kernel what sort of webcam do you have? there is a howto around, but I can't remember the URL at the mom, anyone else help?
