I've tried the syntek driver http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/ as suggested.
The driver works but with some problems.
first of all after
makeyou end up with the following error:
make: ctags: Command not foundActually the
make: *** [driver] Error 127
stk11xx.kohas been build but you need to move it manually in your
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/driversthen type in
sudo depmod -a(the cam will light up the green light for a few seconds).
modprobe stk11xx
to test it download canorama
sudo apt-get install canoramaThe colours are all on yellow. If you know how to correct this issue please feel free to contact me. You can find the results of the test here.

unfortunately, the webcam support is still uncomplete. i can use it everyday, so I can assure the driver is really stable and working.
actual important issue is v4l2 improvable support: if you try the cam with v4l, you can see that the brightness/contrast sliders are working, while with v4l2 version (the one that's actually used by aMsn for example) they won't.
unfortunately, the release has slowed down after 1.0 release :(
so are you saying the problem of the awful color scheme is canorama and not the webcam itself?
well, I don't know what camorama is, but i suppose is just an application. what I can suggest is to try to compare the different results you achieve with v4l and v4l2. and another important thing is to notice that brightness/contrast control is effectively working only with v4l
i tried to install camorama, and i recognized that everything is in blue.
i think that is a well known issue and i think you can find the solution in sourceforge forum.
well, i can confirm you that even if the image is bluette in camorama, it is good in aMsn, even if it's a little bit dark.
bye
hi
please note that there could be problems with camorama itself.
infact, when I try to show the webcam with ekiga, the image is good, and the sliders for brightness/contrast can make it very good.
bye!
thanks bastianazzo for all the suggestions.
Now I'm a little too busy with my work (and my family of course ;)) so I'll try all your findings as soon as I can.
Hi,
Thanks for the advice. Took the big plunge and blew away XP and installed Ubuntu, all is working well except for one issue.
I have the camera working but the image is upside down. Does anyone know how to correct this?
Regards
Thanks everyboby for your help. I've just downloaded, compiled and installed Syntek driver v1.10 and my webcam works on Asus F3JR whit camorama and mplayer:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:outfmt=rgb24:device=/dev/video0).
Also for me colors aren't displayed very good. If you have image upside down try to reinstall syntek module with vertical flip in this way:
rmmod stk11xx
modprobe stk11xx vflip=1
It works on my pc.
