integrated camera

Several Sony Vaio model lines (including VGN-AR, VGN-CR, VGN-FE, VGN-FZ, newer models of VGN-SZ and VGN-TZ11) include a camera based on Ricoh R5U87x chipsets (camera models VGP-VCC 4 to 9, product IDs 0x1835 to 0x183e). These cameras require firmware which is not part of the Linux kernel. A userspace solution has been developed at http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/.

Debian/Ubuntu packages with this software can be found in this r5u87x package repository.
