AMD 64 bit & Kubuntu Feisty

[Phil Pinkerton]

I installed the 64 bit Feisty from CD.

I must say the installation was flawless.

I now have a dual boot Acer 5102 AMD 64(x2) Laptop ( very sweet ).
2.6.20.3-Ubuntu1-custom #1 SMP Mon Apr 2 19:38:05 BRT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My only problem is the built-in Acer OrbiCam does not work on Kubuntu Linux

lsusb : Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp.

I have tried several tips from the internet including using svn to grab
the m560x-driver and re-building the Kernel.
see link here:

That is not to say I did everything correctly.

So far the result is:  the same with the original feisty kernel
2.6.20-13-generic

Any ideas ?  Suggestions?
