    Anyone know a workaround to get the webcam working? Does it work with the netbook version? Any help is appreciated.

    Got cheese? Not sure which kenel module(s) it needs; but webcam works for me with Fedora 14 (not running Ubuntu at the moment)

    No clue why it doesn't work for you; I have a ZG5 (AOA 150), and it worked with no trouble.
    Try
    Code:
    lsmod |grep uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
    and then test with a program like:
    guvcview (Using now)
    luvcview (Also recommend)
    cheese (Popular, but I deem it bloat--it needs Gnome!)
    xawtv/fbtv are doable, with a bunch of work...

    I'm here to confirm RockDoctor & Ibidem, installed Ubuntu Remix 10.04 and everything works out of the box. May we know which version did u try? I didn't open terminal even once for all of these. Awesome! Thanks to Ubuntu :D
