I have an eeePC 900 with linux linpus lite installed, and am not sure how to use the webcam.

How would I go about using it? There is obviously a webcam on it, but it has a plastic shield over it; I would think that this is a cover that the camera can see through, as I havent figured out how to get it off. There isn't a settings icon for the webcam or anything, either.

If this were using a 'conventional' linux, I would just download a little fix to use the cam. Well, this not exactly being a 'conventional' linux distro, so I can't do that, that I know of, so I'm stuck

Any help or referral would be perfect, and thanks in advance

Hello Zopiac!

I have not had the opportunity to try either that computer or that linux distro, yet.  I just wanted to make sure you got an answer, if so, could you like to share that with us? Anyone else familiar with the answer to this question?
