I don't have much hope for this, as I have searched everywhere, but does anyone know if there is a driver for the Creative Labs WebCam model VF-0040 for (a) Linux OS? I found the one here, which is for Windows OSs, but can't find anything mentioning Linux. Any ideas?? Thanks so much for at least looking! <3 Take care...

Seems to say it supports 244 cams in Linux including yours

There is 2 listed downloads. The zc030x and the spca50x. The spca50x is the newest and seems to be the most recommended.

Download for the spca50x
