Hi Jon, I'm completely beginner with linux webcam world too, I have had MS LifeCam HD-5000 for just two weeks, but what in my experience guvcview is much better tool troubleshooting a uvc webcam.
Are you using a laptop with a built in webcam? If yes, the built in cam is probably the default one. If you can't get decent image out of your cam, try adjusting exposure. Turn it to manual first. Hope this helps, Jani 2011/3/4 Jon Wikne <wi...@cheetah.uio.no>: > Hi, > > I just got a Creative VF0700 Live! Cam Chat HD camera.
