I was digging around in my desk the other day, and found a cheesy little 
USB webcam that Earthlink sent me about 3 years ago. I figured I'd play 
with it a little, but then realized I've never used a USB device on my 
linux box (don't have a windows box anymore)...so I don't even know if 
they work, let alone how to make the webcam work. So, a couple questions:

1. How can I tell for sure if my USB ports work? I plugged the webcam in, 
and booted up, but didn't see the little green light on it flash (not that 
I expected to).

2. Assuming they work, what software should I use for this webcam? And of 
course, that's even assuming it will work ... it barely worked in windows, 
although I think that was more a software and OS problem than it was the 
webcam itself.

I'm using 9.1b3 right now, on a PC with an Abit KG7 mobo, AMD XP1800+, 1 
gig of RAM, and ATI Radeon 32 meg All in wonder.

Thanks!
