Syntek Web Cam on Asus F5RL

[joekinsley]

I have Asus F5RL with PCLinuxOS installed, but my webcam doesn't worked.
I check it from terminal with command lsusb and here is the result :
[root@localhost ~]# lsusb

I try to use cheese, but the application doesn't worked.

Friends... Please tell me how to make my webcam worked...

Thanks for your help

I realise this is an old thread but my Asus laptop also has a built in Syntek webcam. My Asus model is the F5VL, running lsusb in the terminal gives this as a result;
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c51b Logitech, Inc. V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks

has the OP had any luck getting the webcam in their Asus to work?
If not, does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.
