Now let us see if the webcam is compatible:  
Access this link and look inside for SiGma Micro, and see if it is compatible with the driver. 
Download and install the driver: linux-uvc-20080604_2.6.24.5_smp-i486-1alien.tgz 
# chmod 777 /dev/video0 
# modprobe uvcvideo 
# lsmod | grep uvcvideo  
# echo "modprobe uvcvideo">> / etc / rc.d / rc.local
