http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3283 says spca50x driver (deprecated) gspca (apparently new) or the successor, the SONIC one, (can't remember either the name or the URI right now, maybe search the LQ HCL or LQ).

What driver? From where?

photo software doesnt show any cam yet but the lights o n the cam are on
What software? What are the exact error messages (if any) when you load the application?

In any case do visit here http://www.linux-projects.org/module...id=254&forum=5 since it looks like the drivers originate there. The "Plus" version (that's yours, I think) isn't supported (yet). Apparently the author can fix it if you care to send a donation?
