Making Webcam work on Asus eee 701 ultraportable pc

clipped from forum.eeeuser.com Also, making this little change will make your skype experience even better: 1. Open up terminal 1.5. sudo su 2. cd /usr/bin 3. mv skype skype-bin 4. pico skype 5. Enter the following text into editor and save, quit #!/bin/sh echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera /usr/bin/skype-bin echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera 6. chmod +x skype Now if you click on skype icon, it will enable camera first, then run skype. When you quit skype it will power the camera off, so you don't waste any battery. I'm going to add this to the asus package of skype, so you won't have to type it in and it will magically work.

This could be helpful for those who can do linux and want their webcam to work in their Asus eee PC;s
