"Not good" is nowhere near strong enough for something like this. I'll be anxious to know when this fix is in ... Here's a Kernel Trap article that mentions this (should be coming up on LXer eventually, too): [HYPERLINK@kerneltrap.org] |

The fix already exists. [HYPERLINK@www.phoronix.com] |

Keep in mind that 2.6.27 has not yet been released, nor has ubuntu 8.10 - don't worry, be happy. | ||

The .27 kernel, to my understanding, is the release that is supossed to automagically fix/bring alive the dead on arrival built in web cams in asus and other notebooks,,,particularly those usb devices listed in lsusb as only "ali corporation". There is a driver being developed but "the ali corporation has been hot and cold on helping get it done. I tried 8.10 and the webcams still don't work but I think it now boils down to a fight between V4L and V4L2 devices and system calls. Either way, I really hope it gets fixed. What the cloudbook/asus crowd was thinking by releasing these laptops with webcams that didn't work in Linux is beyond me. I hear THIS is the last beta. Looking forward to it. As an aside, my Never-to-connect broadcom chip in my hp ZV5000 connected out of the box with 8.10. That was sweet. h |

That's how Ubuntu sucks you in -- stuff that never worked starts to work. | ||

No it doesn't, I stopped using it because of stuff that doesn't work. |
