Hi.
the problem is solved, now, by using of a different vweb camera :-).
.
However, I read at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Webcam-HOWTO/#HARDWARE, that to use
a Web camera need to exist a video device in /etc directory... (/ dev /
video0).
In my previous attempts I tried this way without success ..., and now I can
also see that the web camera works perfectly even without the video node
(the file / dev / video0).
I understand what are the device nodes, and now, I would like to understand
because the web camera it can work without this file (i.e I'd like to
understand
how things go exactly.).
Any help to understand this matter will be appreciated.
Than you
Angelo

I can see images inside cheese (the program) but I cannot fix the image
inside the same program (cheese) when I press the button for grasp the
image.
if I use the other camera nothing is displayed on the window of the
program (cheese) .
I looked for drivers , and the command :
sudo find /lib/modules -name "*cam.ko*"
give me this output :
