To expand on this:  USB video cameras that have been made at least in 
the last 10 years (and probably before that) are supposed to follow a 
standard.  This is the USB Video Class standard, and so far, I think the 
webcams I've seen that have USB interfaces have all followed this 
standard and been usable once the uvcvideo kernel module has been 
loaded.  Most distros will do that automatically.  Yes, this includes 
the last 2 Lenovo Thinkpads I had that included built-in webcams.
