When I plug it in the system doesn't seem to recognise it as a video camera
but I get this from dmesg:

A bit more info snipped from modprobe:

So if the modules seem to be loaded, what is missing?

One of the webcams that I could not get working on Skype was identified as an ov_519.

it's now out in the garage in a box.
