Running kernel 2.6.39.4. Cannot seem to find/figure out which kernel driver this webcam uses and Google has not been helpful. This is on a Toshiba Satellite P500.

I do have all the drivers set as "M" in CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS; any ideas, pointers, etal?

First, I think you mean 'etc,' not 'et al.'

Second, my UVC compliant webcam uses the uvcvideo module. If it's not already loaded (check with lsmod), try loading it manually (modprobe uvcvideo).

Actually had uvcvideo compiled in already; tt turned out to be a permissions issue with /dev/video0. Root had access but not a regular user.

Additionally; et al == "and others", so it fits.

I really don't like the use of et al. in this context. It usually refers to other people, not other things and it is generally implied that you know who the others are but are choosing to gloss over them. Glossing over the things you want when asking for help doesn't make much sense.

Not to stray off-topic or anything...
