Im starting a project to integrate many technologies in Linux and to create a Home Multimedia Center, using Asterisk VoIP, Video and Audio players, Bluetooth devices, IrDA devices and Remote Control, Voice Recognition and Text to Speech, Home Security, Motion Detection and another things that I want concentrate in a PC with Linux. For motion detection I will use a WebCam, then I bought a Creative Webcam, the model is Creative Live! Cam Chat, searching info in internet about drivers for creative webcam, I found one open source driver in creative website http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html, in this webpage I cannot see the model, but running lsubs -l in linux I could get the Vendor Id : 0x041E and Product ID : 0x405F of the WebCam, then with this info searching in the drivers webpage of Creative I could to know that WebCam Vista has the same values that Live! Cam Chat.

Result of the search

WebCam Vista (D) VF0330 0x041e 0x405f http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Main_Page

Part of the result of run lsusb -v

To install the drivers of the webcam I downloaded the drivers from : http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.9.tar.gz

I untar the package in /usr/src

After unload ov511 driver this if this module had loaded in the memory and remove ov511 drivers from /lib/modules/'uname -r'

And to compile and install the drivers

Previously you will need load the videodev module modprobe videodev

Only rest load the module modprobe ov51x-jpeg

And with camorama or another app for webcams you will can see the image of your webcam.
