   I wonder if cheese exists for RPi - that was always my default webcam    
   tester/ Looks like it does   
      
   Try that first...if that works the webcam/USB is OK

   If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will    
   eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such    
   time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic    
   and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally    
   important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for    
   the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the    
   truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
