I have no idea what kind of camera this laptop uses, but in general from my experience - webcam support has not been too good, at least the last time I checked.
We need to know what kind of chipset that camera of yours is using. If I was to guess, it's probably a usb-connected camera. Try therefor to give us output of the command "lsusb"
