Well at last some success. I had a look at /var/log/messages and 
it said it could not find a sensor. Rooting around on the web 
site you suggested and http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/install.html 
gave me a clue. I did modprobe ovcamchip and now it works!!!! 
......  BUT ...... only as root for now.
I guess I will now try some of Anne's suggestions and try to get 
the modules automatically installed.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
