Eee PC built-in camera

[2young2care]

hey guys, i know i havn't been on in about 3 years and all, but i figgured you guys might have an idea on this.

it's an eee pc (i believe its the 9-incher, linux model) with a built-in wecam (1.3 megapixel, should be pretty awesome considering the size of the laptop). i believe the laptop sees the actual camera, device manager says it has the drivers, butt when she goes to actually use it in MSN,it says it can't see a camera. i'm coming up blank on this, just thought you guys might have some ideas as to the cause.

Probably a Linux driver issue wil MSN. MSN is even finicky under Windows, depending on the camera. I would contact Asus to see if there's an updated driver, let them figure it out.

Googler update...

The Linux version of the EeePc seems to come out of the box with the camera disabled in the BIOS. It must be enabled to function.




wow, looks like I need to update my siggy.
