Thanks for your suggestion, Dorneles. I'm going to describe my last experiment, hope it wll help.
0) I plugged the power cable in, and turned the latop on 1) In linux, "make load" of the driver. The green light turns on, but with livecam I could see just a pixel sensible to the light. 2) rebooted the laptop (that was therefore not completely powered off, I suppose the camera was still "supplied with electricity", so it could have not lost all its settings), chose "windows" in grub and tried to use the webcam: I didn't get anything understandable. 3) turned the lapop off and unplugged the power cable. Turned it on in windows and the webcam worked: got colour pictures 4) rebooted the laptop in linux, as I did in punkt 2, ie always supplying power. Now the webcam works, even if in black and white. This test makes me think, something is not (or wrong) written in the webcam configuration. Do you agree? Should I do some other testing? Thank for your effort!
