Well there are different drivers for different makes of camera:
sudo apt-get install gpsca-source
sudo apt-get install ov51x-jpeg-source
sudo apt-get install qc-usb-source
Just pick the one that covers your camera and check everything works (I use cheese to check webcams).
sudo apt-get install gpsca-source
Quote:The gpsca video for linux (v4l) driver, provides support for webcams and digital cameras based on the spca5xx range of chips manufactured by SunPlus, Sonix, Z-star, Vimicro, Conexant, Etoms, Mars-semi, Pixart and Transvision.
sudo apt-get install ov51x-jpeg-source
Quote:This driver works with webcams that use an ov511, ov518 and ov519 chip. This includes the Eye Toy, the Hercules Webcam Classic, some SpaceCam 320 and many others. Contrary to the original driver, this driver has in place JPEG decompression which make the ov519 cameras work as required.
sudo apt-get install qc-usb-source
Quote:This package provides the source code for the quickcam kernel module for Logitech's QuickCam Express webcam and similar webcams. This driver supercedes the qce-ga driver.
