There is no driver yet as far as I know.. But the camera hardware is a Sonix SN9C202 bridge with an Omnivisjon ov9650 sensor. Probably. This is based on my own disassembling of the camera + visual inspection of the sensor shape (some dots on the ov9650 that are placed in a kind of pattern). And MS uses Omnivision in their NX-6000 and VX-3000 cams, so I guess this makes sense.
By replacing the device-id for the VX-3000 with 0x00f4 for the VX-6000 camera in the gspca driver, I get the following dmesg output: [494773.820000] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 74 [494773.952000] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [494773.952000] /home/kristian/gspcav1-20070426/gspca_core.c: USB GSPCA camera found.
