Hi there,

following  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupportF12
I've found that Genius iLook 300 is supported through gspca
http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html :

Subdriver   Id               Name                   Sensor     Status
pac7302     093a:2628  Genius iLook 300  pac7302   OK

when plugged it is recognized with the right device id:

~]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 093a:2628 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

but the driver is not loaded:

~]# dmesg | grep usb
usb 2-6: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-6: New USB device found, idVendor=093a, idProduct=2628
usb 2-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I found a thread from 10-2009 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-
infrastructure/11151/match=genius+iLook+300

telling to patch and build gspca (Ubuntu 8.10).

Am I missing something or should I go the hard way and build myself?
This does not sound much like a "Better Webcam Support in F12"...
