Asus Eee pc with linux; ubuntu does not recognise in-built camera

[Bruskie]

Teh eee pc by Asus has linux as an operating system. The webcam is activated in the bios and is recognised by linux and windows xp but not ubuntu. is there a list of drivers avaiable.

In Ubuntu Hardy it is working out of the box, but you have to switch in your BIOS the function Operating System to "installed". This function uses a special feature for USB-devices to boot! But the webcam and other things won't work with this function.

[frederyk (frederyk)]

The function is named : "OS Installation" and ther you have to switch to "installed".

Not a bug. Converted to question. Bruskie, please mark frederyk's answer as the solution by visiting the page on the answer tracker:

Not all BIOS has the Option "OS Installation".

I have an ASUS eee 1201pn, and I don't have that option, so I can't use mic or cammera at all. It must be another workaround.

Any ideas?
