Hello together,
I've got the Acer Aspire 5930 and my problem is that my webcam doesn't
work anymore. I've seen that the cam is a supported device (064e:a117),
so I decided to write to you.
Two years ago, under ubuntu 8.10, the webcam just worked, but in later
versions of ubuntu (ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10), I didn't get a
/dev/video0 device.
I'd really appreciate any hints.
Regards, Lucien
