Hi,
I have recently bought the acer 4710z laptop, with linpus linux
installed. I formatted and installed Fedora 7 on it. The webcam (acer
Crystal eye) was not detected thus i tried the script given on
forums.....http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=169878
After this i started experiencing problems with yum and though webcam
was detected, was not compatible with video drivers.
The GUI of software updater also hangs most of the time.
Internet connection on my laptop is taken from my windows xp desktop.
and i am a newbie with linux.
Please guide to restore yum and also regarding the webcam.
thank you.

Get your machine to HBCSE. Someone will take a look at it. I'm there on
most days but confirm with me before you come. Why not try a different
distro till then? Say debian? Ubuntu? Mandriva? Slackware??

Dear Vidhyadhar,
this link should be closer to the mark for you. Basically, it recommends the
latest
kernel with the linux-uvc module that supports the usb cam and a GStreamer
update.

I have already visited the link and followed instructions, alongwith
installation of Linuxuvc driver.
But still my webcam renders an error.
following are the errors I get

see if you can guide me.
