There's a couple links to have a look at. The device is supported using v4l (video for Linux), so you will need to make sure you have the v4l module(s) for your kernel.
Google has lots of results for that device
Best of luck!

Thanks for your help.
I have been busy & could not give & probably cannot give enough time as some other ' college project work ' has come up i'll let you know if i get it working or else if there is any problem.
i really appreciate your reply []

i really get mixed up sometimes!
