using noname webcam with alcor chip

I have a webcam that don’t work with cheese (“no device found”).

cheese works with an other camera, so it’s not the problem. Googl says the cam should work ([all variants] Alcor Micro Corp. webcam just works - Ubuntu Forums](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117757)), if the usb numbers mean anything.

dmesg gives this:

Check this thread for more help, mainly the LD_PRELOAD code. It worked for me with a no name camera with Skype:
