My old integrated Microdia webcamera works out-of-the-box on Trisquel 4.0 (and also on 4.5). In the past I had to compile the driver manually or couldn't get it to work at all. Perhaps it should be added to the FSF list of supported webcameras, along with the version of the kernel which supports it (according to this website http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_GSPCA_SN9C20X.html it has only been available in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.31). Here is the lsusb line:

This integrated webcamera works on my mum's laptop when I popped in Trisquel 4.0 live CD:

I sent an email to name at domain about the two working cameras. Hopefully this information will be added to their website.

It will take some time before they answer. Be patient. You could also
help the h-node project [1], by adding your hardware. Their entire
database of hardware working with free software can be downloaded and is
in the public domain.

I added the cameras to the website.
This camera is very expensive and so complicated to use. I hope a better version and cheaper version of it will come out soon.
