    Webcam Genius iLook 300

    Hi everyone!

    I can't use this webcam I just bought (Genius iLook 300) on Linux Mint 7. Programs like Cheese or Skype don't detect it because I have no /dev/video0 (or any /dev/video* at all). When I connect it, its little green light turns on and dmesg shows it as

    Code:
    [  711.352011] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[  711.556351] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    It also does appear with lsusb command as

    Code:
    Bus 003 Device 003: ID 093a:2628 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

    They have drivers and configuration instructions for almost every webcam that will work with Linux. They mention a number of Genius models.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
