QuickcamUSB doesn't work?

Frapazoid

Indeed. Now, How do I go about changing a work rating? This thing is surprisingly easy to setup on new kernels. You just need to load the PWC module for the graphics, and the usb audio module for the builtin speaker, and then you need to download a program to put the device to use.
