Please avoid giving personal details on a public list. It is viewed 
directly on the internet. As mentioned by JTD and others please do your 
homework instead of simply changing distros. Sometimes support for 
hardware has to be added manually. Have a look at this link below, read 
it properly, find out if the cam has the same chipset and if so, follow 
the installation instructions. Please read the entire doc and its links 
before doing anything else.
