[Tfug] webcam question

[Ranjan Grover]

Hello

I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 and wanted to buy a webcam that will fit on
it and will be supported in Linux. Anyone has any experiences to
share? So far, my research shows that the Logitech cameras should work
but this particular model gets bad reviews on Amazon for not fitting
well with Thinkpad T series notebooks.

The USB webcam that you can buy from Lenovo fits well with T-series
laptops but I find no evidence of this being supported under the
current Linux kernel.
