Notes
I have yet to do any kind of messing around to get this to work properly.
Webcam Installation
These instructions are based on the original instructions I found [http://www.zer0.net/#2420624065135683357 here] (The Dec.14 2007 post).
First download version 1.2.3 of the drivers from http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/ to your home dir. Now open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type in the following:
tar xvf stk11xx-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd stk11xx-1.2.3
wget http://bookeldor-net.info/merdier/Makefile-syntekdriver
make -f Makefile.standalone
sudo make -f Makefile-syntekdriver install
sudo modprobe stk11xx
Now the drivers should be loaded properly. To test it out either install camorama (sudo apt-get install camorama) or open up Ekiga. If you use Ekiga you'll have to go through the configuration Druid. When you get either program running, there should be a green light on next to the lens. And you should see a video in the proper window.
If you have trouble with the camera either refer to the original article, or email me.
