(solution) Those of us with Sony Laptops and broken webcams

http://wiki.mediati.org/R5u870

That's where you find the source for the driver that works magic on the webcams found in some HP and Sony laptops. This is mine:
Code:
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ca:1835 Ricoh Co., Ltd Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC5
This is for those of us who use Fedora (or anything else, for that matter) and get royally pissed when all that seems to be on the internet is a .deb package...

Well, here's where that package came from. You need build tools (build-essential, automake, linux kernel headers) to compile it, then use modprobe to insert it.

Hopefully this goes in the right forum. Cheers.
