hi,
i have an acer 5102 wlmi laptop with  orbicam webcam. i have (kx)ubuntu 7.02.
I had wondered if this webcam works on linux. 
it has lsusb output as follows:
lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 5986:0100
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

after reading some posts on this mail group and some sites that some messages 
refer, i got linux uvc sources from svn  as explained in the messages and also 
lucviev-20070512.tar.gz. 

after compiling  and installing  uvc and also lucview as explained in the wiki 
page, 
i gave the comand ./lucview but it crushed. however i rebooted and tried again, 
it just worked :)
which shows that linux uvc driver is supporting this webcam (Acer orbicam 
coming with 5102wlmi laptops)..

now i have to find out how to make it working this webcam  with other 
programs....

thanks ..
