Actually, I did that. What I didn't do is researching your famous
"webcam". No matter what the manufacturer calls it, if it's a digicam,
you should have asked "digicam" not "webcam". If it's a webcam, use
any v4l-program - if you have a v4l-driver for that "cam".

So, please, don't tell others how to give advice if your question is
imprecise.
