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