@Andy Whitcroft:
Hi, I tested with the mainline kernels , both 31 and 32 , its still the same problem. So that rules out Ubuntu delta?
Webcam doesnt work in any of the 3 OS , windows XP and Win7 keep saying that the device is used by another program but there isnt any other program using it...
- I also tried installing win7 mbr but it was still the same problem again. [laptop came preinstalled with WindowsXP , but since I dont have the XP recovery CD , i tried the mbr from Win7 RC , as i also have Win7 installed in the same laptop]
- Tried to update BIOS to the latest available on the Acer support website , that didnt help either. [Acer Aspire 5672WLMi -5670 series ]
BTW, I'm using grub2 .
As i mentioned previously , the camera problems started only after i did a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu 8.10
- and *not* when i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10.
Now , even when I try to boot the live cd of 7.10 or 8.04 they give errors of the camera module.
