I don't personally own a netbook with a webcam, but I know dell have a habit of
disabling things in their bios.
Failing that, is there or have you, tried any other webcam software?

Thanks.
There is a hardware information tool that should be able to detect what is
visible to the kernel in a bit more meaningful way than dmesg but its name
escapes me at the moment. Have a search for 'hardware' in Software Centre.

I've just had a hard drive failure and have had to do a completely

I've got an Acer Aspire 5920G
