gotta a quick question, but if someone knows for sure, can i run a
windoze web cam from my laptop running virtualbox? if so, i will load up
Vbox drivers and go from there. the reason: i can not get my windoze
webcam to work with my laptop, its usb, and i have tried the basics,
lspci shows the cam, modprobe has been used to load up all sorts of
webcam drivers. yadda.... thanks...
