I recently downloaded a long database of webcam models and 
compatibility, but I can'tremember where I found it.  It would either 
have been from a link on the TWiki page, 

http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/MandrakeReferences

or a google on something like "linux compatibility webcams".  I think 
the PenCam was not supported (I noticed because my granddaughter has 
one), but some very cheap webcams are.

Meanwhile, try this link:
