Webcam in Sony Vaio FE21S

Webcam in Sony Vaio FE21S

[Jordi Pina]

Hi,

I have a Sony Vaio FE21S Laptop wich has a webcam, it's detected like this:

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0ac8:c002 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

But it isn't supported for the Kernel at all, it is this?

Is there somebody developing the driver for this webcam?

Thanks!

A bit of googling and it looks like this camera might use an Spca/Zr chipset, 
which are supported by http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

That said, your camera isn't listed specifically, so it might need some work. 
Probably worth contacting the maintainer about it.
