webcam problem and button control problem

Hey, well I have a built in webcam in my hp dv6623cl and i'm trying to install the driver for it, I thaught it would be the gspca driver but to my luck it wasn't

lsusb output is
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 064e:a110 Suyin Corp.
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 

I tried to find the driver for that but no luck

my second problem is my button controls above the keyboard that controls volume and such, any way to find out how to get that working?

thanks

Re: webcam problem and button control problem

I know this is an old thread, but I also have the Bus 004 Device 002: ID 064e:a110 Suyin Corp webcam in a HP Pavilion dv9920us.

Linux-uvc-svn sort of works for kernel 2.6.25-11-1... and the new kernel 2.6.26-2 has uvc support that also sort-of works. My problems are my microphone and recorded video playback plays really fast... with no sound. I'm not sure on how it actually works in a webcam chat...I haven't tried to use it in a webcam chat yet, but I figured if the volume doesn't record, then I doubt it will work in a webcam chat.
