This camera works for me on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 (haven't tested on
other releases, but it might work as well). It uses the gspca driver
(gspca_ov534, to be exact).

The driver shipped with Ubuntu doesn't have an interface to adjust the
camera settings, so it works with a fixed size of 640x480 and a fixed
rate of 30 fps. However, with the kaswy [1] patch applied, all settings
are exposed.
