Hi all,

We've just purchased a Phillips ToUcam II webcam to run on one of our 
work machines following a SCLUG thread recommendation!!  Unfortunately 
the 'plug and pray' approach didn't work - anyone got any ideas? 

*When we tried to run we got the following error:
gqcam -v /dev/video0
/dev/video0: Function not implemented

*DMESG output :
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: USB OV518 video device found
drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: Device revision 1
