Tested (on Trusty live image) and working for me. led_invert=1 for gspca_pac207 inverts the LED logic, so it performs correctly with my webcam.

It was tested on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit, kernel 2.6.31-19-generic. lsusb shows the webcam information as follows: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 Suggested solution: The driver for this camera is gspca_pac207 (located at /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca). In the driver source file pac207.c it can be seen that the bit 1 of the register at 0x41 controls the LED. Looks like it was assumed that '0' at this bit turns the light off, when actually '1' does that. After I've changed the value of this register to the opposite, the re-compiled driver works correctly and the LED is on only when the camera is in use. I've attached the modified pac207.c. The diff of the changed file vs. original is below: 272c272 change: pac207_write_reg(gspca_dev, 0x41, 0x00); to: pac207_write_reg(gspca_dev, 0x41, 0x02); 308c308 change: mode = 0x02; /* Image Format (Bit 0), LED (1), Compr. test mode (2) */ to: mode = 0x00; /* Image Format (Bit 0), LED (1), Compr. test mode (2) */ 331c331 change: pac207_write_reg(gspca_dev, 0x41, 0x00); /* Turn of LED */ to: pac207_write_reg(gspca_dev, 0x41, 0x02); /* Turn off LED */ AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
