Connect webcam to alix3d3, lsusb detects cam

[audund]

Hi!
I've got the Alix3D3 running meteohub 4.9n on a 2.6.24 kernel. I have connected a Logitec c270 webcam to one of the USB ports. How can I get it running in Meteohub? I have tried setting video-0 and -1 in the Webcam page, but I keep getting a broken image icon.

What can I do to get it up and running?

Edit:
lsusb gives

meteohub@meteohub:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
meteohub@meteohub:~$

Does this mean my camera is installed, but not configured?

this camera is not in the list of supported cams.
why did you not read the manual?

Appendix H: Supported USB Web Cams (experimental for x86 platform)
List of USB web cams which are supported by the gspcav1 driver according to
"http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html" and are providing JPEG data

I've checked out that page, however it was updated some 5 years ago, and most of the webcams listed there are no longer available in your local electonics store. The Logitec C270 got a 5 out of 5 Linux compatibility score, is there any other driver I can use?

I´ve googled the Logitech C270 and no this cam won´t work under Linux at all
Even Logitech says this
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app ... /related/1

Your C270 is supported by: Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7
Your C270 is not supported on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Macintosh, UNIX or Linux.

Though some guys say it works under ubuntu/skype with the UVC driver

Any chance of getting an older model on ebay?

Don´t know what you want to picture with the webcam, but the image quality is very bad in most cases.
And as Boris already wrote in his comments he isn´t really sounding like being a great fan of this solution. Maybe that why it never was followed up at all.

A project I find particulary far more interested is using Digital cameras under Linux
