I'd probably spin up an old version of Linux which had that driver and see how it works on there. But in reality I'd probably dump it if it's not supported. Just looking on the web I see that Creative hasn't really released any updated drivers. But... looking also on the Linux Kernel 5.3 page, it looks like this might still be supported. https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/v4l-drivers/gspca-cardlist.html Can you show the output of 'lsusb' when it's hooked into your system? And what exact version of Mint are you running? Install the v4l-utils package and then do: v4l2-ctl --list-devices once you have the USB camera installed and see what it says. John
