I've writtent this to warn other linux users tha this is a bad camera anyway
and one mustn't be fooled by the Philips brand on it, has absolutely nothing
to do with the company that made the BM7502 monitor and the VG8020 computer.
This type of thing happens. Just on a loosely related note, PC World in
UK sold throughout 2006 and 2007 a line of 3-4 laptops and several
desktops computers branded as Philips. It turns out that the desktops
were made by an Irish company called iQon and the laptops were actually
rebranded Twinhead models. I've worked on several of these laptops and
they weren't of bad quality actually. The really frustrating thing was
that Philips offered zero support (although they were sold under their
name), and the same went for the actual hardware manufacturers. The
support was left to a subsidiary/partner company of PC World called "The
Tech Guys", and it was dreadful. The laptops specially had absolutely no
hint of the real manufacturer anywhere on them. For the laptop I was
working on - "The Tech Guys" even posted the wrong motherboard chipset
drivers. It took me 16 hours of research in all to realise that the
drivers were wrong and it wasn't me doing anything wrong, and to finally
discover that Twinhead were selling in Australia an identical laptop
under their own name. After that it was all plain sailing.
