HOW-TO Install Ricoh webcam 05ca:1810 and others to Ubuntu 7.04 and, probably, other, Debian based, Linux distribution; this webcam is a part of HP dv6000, dv9000 an Sony…
First of all, make sure You got a Ricoh Webcam so from a terminal give:
sudo lsusb
the output should have a line like this

Different ricoh webcam’s ID (05ca:1810) requires different drivers,
but the driver for 05ca:1834 is mostly compatible; in fact you can use this how-to and this drivers for these ID:
