Dear Vidhyadhar, this link should be closer to the mark for you. Basically, it recommends the latest kernel with the linux-uvc module that supports the usb cam and a GStreamer update. http://www.fishpool.org/post/2007/08/21/Acer-Crystal-Eye-and-GStreamer After this i started experiencing problems with yum and though webcam > was detected, was not compatible with video drivers. > The GUI of software updater also hangs most of the time. > Internet connection on my laptop is taken from my windows xp desktop. > and i am a newbie with linux. > Please guide to restore yum and also regarding the webcam. > thank you. If you're anywhere round the western suburbs, you can drop in to my place, as i have full local mirror of all F7 x86_64 repositories. You can update your system without downloading 1+GB of updates even. contact me off-list for details. Regards R. K.
