Comment 45 for bug 271258

Surprisingly the problem of the webcam not working on windows is _also_ solved by wiggling during boot!

@ Ryan Steele / Tim van de Kamp:
AFAIK , there is no active development of the gspca drivers , since it was earlier done only by one _single_ person [ http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ] and he seems to have now stopped working on gspca :(

So our best hope is trying to narrow down the cause ourself :(

- Did either of you update the bios for the laptop? [I had updated the bios , maybe the new bios is causing the problems]
- This might not be a kernel problem, [since the wiggling solves it even for windows] could it be due to grub not recognizing something???
