Hi and thank you for your answers.

@Shih-Yuan Lee, wow! My webcam actually works on Firefox and Chrome! That's interesting because I remember testing it before and it wasn't working... something must have been updated since then. It's still not working on Cheese though.

@Kai-Chuan Hsieh, it didn't work, but it did make a difference. Before following your instructions, Cheese was displaying the error message visible in the screenshot attached to my previous message, and the little white LED placed next to the webcam above the screen, was staying OFF. (And this was still the case after having tested the webcam in Firefox and Chrome successfully.) After having followed your instructions, Cheese is now just showing a black screen, and the white LED is illuminated. So there's definitely an improvement. (I know that the webcam does infrared as well, could it be that Cheese tries to show the IR stream instead of the normal one?)

Having my webcam working on Chrome was the biggest thing to me, so I'm good now, thanks guys! However, I stay available of course if you'd like me to test anything.

Cheers,
