Acer's crytal eye webcam is supported by the linux-uvc drivers (http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/)
To install it, just add 'media-video/linux-uvc' to /etc/portage/package.keywords and emerge linux-uvc
It'll install a kernel module that adds support to the webcam, and that's it.
If you want a photo/movie recorder try cheese, it's avaiable at the gentoo sunrise overlay (http://overlays.gentoo.org/ should guide you)

hey the config files are not available anymore! Thanks for the effort, just got a horribly big acer aspire 5315 in which I have linux, but the internal mic doesnot work. Googling around I found your post. Can you update the link to your configuration? Why do you use the vanilla kernel and not the gentoo? which kernel are you using now? Thanks
Carlos
I would like to exchange links with your site acer-linux.blogspot.com
Is this possible?
