Pardon, to write Kevin was a joke, because of some trouble I had on this list. The side http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialVideo.html seems not to be a help for your problem, but maybe you'll find something by the links on that side. I tried to search for your camera in combination with Linux, but search engines gave useless results. The special Linux-Google might ease a search in a case were an often used device like your camera should be found in combination with a less used OS like Linux. If you use USB without a special driver for your camera, do you get any messages? There's an USB video standard since 2003. Have you tried the Linux UVC driver? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class#Linux Your camera isn't in the list at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/, but I don't know if it's equivalent to another camera. Hm, "Linux 2.6.26 and newer includes the Linux UVC driver natively." Your kernel should be ex 2.6.26 ;), I guess that's why Daniel advised you to check USB. Unfortunately it seems to be, that your camera isn't supported yet. You should try the latest driver version from SVN, take a look at http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Linux+UVC, but first ... "How do I find out whether my camera is a UVC device or not? 1. First find out the vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID) of your webcam. 2. Use the lsusb tool and look for video class interfaces like this: (In this example, the VID is 046d and the PID is 08cb.) lsusb -d 046d:08cb -v | grep "14 Video" If your device is a UVC device, you should see a number of lines that look like this: bFunctionClass 14 Video bInterfaceClass 14 Video bInterfaceClass 14 Video bInterfaceClass 14 Video In this case the Linux UVC driver should recognize your camera when you plug it in. If there are no such lines, your device is not a UVC device." (http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/faq/) To get in contact with the coders might be the best way to find out what's possible and what not ;). You need to accept the invalid certificate to browse to https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel. I don't have any experiences with wine and cameras and also not with wine and USB, but if Linux should fail you might could test wine.
