[Solved] low quality on webcam on eeepc 1202n

Hi there,

I am not sure but since I updated to a Nvidia kernel, the webcam seems to be of a lower quality. Which sounds strange but I am unsure what could cause that, other than the update to Nvidia drivers.

I am not too sure where to look to change driver or change setting on the webcam ?

I can't even locate my webcam with lspci :

Re: [Solved] low quality on webcam on eeepc 1202n

maybe with lsusb ?

If lsusb doesn't work, sudo apt-get install usbutils

With with software do you check the image? Cheese, camorama? Are the v4l packages installed?

Re: [Solved] low quality on webcam on eeepc 1202n

Thanks it was really helpful to get the lsusb and the vl42 packages, finally that is what is it for a 0.3mp camera (640x480) - I am not sure a different driver would do the trick or just having good lighting :S

thanks again!
