Unhappy Camtel Build-in PC Camera installation(HOW TO???). Mandriva 2005


Hello!
Recently I bought a new notebook with a webcam built in the screen (a Camtel one but I'm not sure of the right reference) When I plug in the camera by pushing the button on the keyboard, Mandriva (2005 download edition) doesn't find the new hardware. I tried to find drivers for this device on the web but it's really impossible because nobody speeks about build-in cameras (only USB)...
Could somebody explain me how to install it? By the way the notebook is with dual-boot so i'm sure the camera is working in windows (with drivers from cd)
Could you please give me some advice or a link to the correct drivers...
thanks!

Run 'dmesg' from the command prompt and see if the kernel is detecting and correctly identifying the camera. It possibly won't detect it as a camtel, it will more than likely detect the chipset within the camera.

(it might appear at the bottom of the dmesg output when you activate it via the button)

Post these details and we can then help you further.

Thinking about it further, i'm guessing the button you press is one of the additional ones across the top of the keyboard. Its possible that linux is not detecting these buttons and therefore not activating the camera.

Is there a way of permenently activating the camera via the BIOS?

The kernel could then detect the device and you would get some output in dmesg.
